What are the rationalizations of flat earth believers?

[Cyberman]

The rational of flat earthers is based on "seeing is believing."
Where whatever is seen and interpreted by the viewer is of the highest order in "evidence."

Have you ever heard that before? It's very familiar on this forum isn't it?

To all appearances the earth is flat, as far as they choose to see.
You don't build your house on a rounded slab do you?
And of course some of the flat earthers have a whole system of reasons to believe what they want.
It sounds so familiar doesn't it?

For some, having such a system of thought is all the proof they need.
What is more, if a large sector of the population believe as they do, then it's definitely true - how could so many people be wrong?

That's a really good argument for some isn't it?

Even good arguments have to yield to reality.
