I'd say they're absolutely wrong in the sense that they make the flawed claim that people who assert that the Earth is an oblate spheroid are absolutely wrong, or worse, are engaged in some kind of conspiracy to hide the truth.
- lisper 7y agoFair enough. My point is just that the claim that the earth is flat is not entirely indefensible under the right circumstances, and so any proclamation that a particular position is wrong (e.g. "The earth does not orbit the sun") calls for a certain amount of humility and awareness of context.
