Random flat Earth chit chat

You dont have to define anything. If you spot a mistake in someone's argument you should explain it that person/audience so it becomes obvious. I still dont understand what your argument is.
On top of it if you mess up at calling out a logical fallacy you just shoot yourself in a foot. You claim first its equivocation then say no its bait and switch  - are you sure there is a logical fallacy called 'bait and switch'?
As I've said, its just a friendly advice - dont use it, its not worth a hussle.    
I still dont undestand what are you trying to say.
How is it different for flat earth? You see a ship  that gets behind a horizon - how do you explain that? Refraction? Aint that an ad hoc theory to your assumption that earth is flat?
Its a bad example. First gravity is a naturally occuring phenomenon, Newton and Einstein did not define it they proposed explanations of what it is and how it works. Second, under certain conditions  Newtonian theory is mathematically very close to Einstein's and so using them interchangibly can sometimes be valid. 
 I've never heard of Andrew Thomas Young or what he did wrong. Why did you assume I would understand this example?
People who walk in straight lines in forrests and/or deserts end up walking in circles. And people who feel themselves stationary in a train can observe trees and houses passing by. So it seems that simple observation of world can be deceiving and you need to do some careful mesurement and hard math to figure these things out.
 
Erastothenes did not debunk flat earth he calculated earth circumference. First mentions of globe where made, if I am not mistaken, by Pythagoras and first proof is atributed to Aristotle.
Wow, what is it?
Thats not what the definition you linked to claims.
As I've said he was merely calculating earth circumference not trying to debunk flat earth (it was done before him).

Wait, so is Terminator genuinely a Flat Earther or is this just a troll thread for kicks and giggles?

Isnt that the question one asks himself when he sees any flat earther?

How does one validate the explanation for looming refraction being cause of that natural phenomena?

In 2011 or 2012, acquired information that the moon landing was faked. 2018, acquired information that the earth is indeed flat.

Affirmative.

You sound pretty convinced it's a globe, mind if I ask why?

When we see further then the globe earth model allows, the counterargument out there is that it's due to looming refraction. Can you support this claim?

You just explained what you believe. Am now looking for support to this claim. Can start with a valid citation.

It's gone quite stale now.

The word clever does not belong in this sentence.
