Flat Earth - Response to Mitchell "FES 56" Part 8 - Stated Assumptions Are Facts?
Mitchell from Australia has presented a number of people talking about "the globe," mathematics, geometry, and so forth in isolation of each in order to pit them against each other.
Let's delve into Mitchell's dishonest editing to untangle the truth.
Mitchell attacks Al Biruni by attacking Matt Parker and his colleague Hannah attempting to recreate it - in London. Hannah describes a working assumption that for the short distance they are using, they can treat the Earth as if it is flat. Mitchell interprets that to mean that if they assume it for short distance, somehow that makes it a fact for large distances.
FYI - I skipped 7 in the end, so the numbers are going to be out by 1 from 8 onwards.
