A few times, in informal settings like at a party or in a pub, I had been asked why #science offers no "rebuttal" against #FlatEarth claims made in many "solid" YouTube videos. My answer, always, is this: science can neither confirm nor refute self-sealed arguments that are designed to resist logical analysis. This answer never satisfies those questioners. And they inevitably follow up by pondering whether #logic, itself, is "wrong". In such informal settings, I habitually refrain from engaging in philosophical quibbles about logic’s completeness and consistency—especially when the topic is about the flatness of the spheroid 🌎.
