Wow, that was a terrible article. While I am sure there are some people who identify as conspiracy theorists (or are identified as such), that know more scientific facts than the average person, determining the shape of the earth is an argument based on a wide range of collected evidence that is highly consistent with a round-earth. These theorists can't come up with evidence or make a logical argument based on their knowledge of facts that isn't easily falsifiable by an intelligent scientist or engineer. More importantly, we live in an age where a sufficiently wealthy conspiracy theorist could actually have a space ship constructed and fly around the world. If they didn't or couldn't, they'd blame it on the System That Maintains the Conspiracy, not for some engineering reason. I've concluded that most conspiracy theorists are actually trolls who enjoy angering people and the rest of them can be safely ignored.
