Are you kidding? If someone really has good evidence for the Earth being flat, that could potentially be one of the most important observations of all time!

As the Litany of Tarski goes: “If the Earth is flat, I desire to believe the Earth is flat…” etc.

(Though, I will admit that it gets boring later when you’ve heard all the arguments and rebuttals.)

I have yet to hear a FE believer explain their position without them raising their voice.

Same for "microwaves are bad" believers. They are angry people. Over what, I do not know, but I think they have a deep fear of their own ignorance and use anger to compensate. Somehow they learned at a young age the winner of an argument is perceived as correct or smart, and the way to win is to wear people down. Every conversation is arm wrestling.
