As any amateur astronomer knows, the stars orbit the South Celestial Poles in the opposite direction to that in which they orbit the North Celestial Pole. The only way that this is possible in FET is if there is some line where the stars converge and then subsequently diverge, which happens to be the Celestial Equator.

Let's just check the facts in the first paragraph. We can always go on to the others if RS is making any sense.
RS says that any amateur astronomer knows
1) There are more than 1 SCP. Nope. There's only one as far as every amateur astronomer sees. Since I'm an amateur astronomer and since I don't know that there are more than one. SR's statement is falsified.
2) Stars orbit in the opposite direction. If RS means that the stars orbit the NP counter-clockwise and the SP clockwise, then he's right. However, the stars all move from east to west, with the exception of the pole stars.
Now even though, we've shown him wrong, let's continue this as an academic exercise.
Now, there are three major landmasses in the southern hemiplane, and each sees the same constellations. Therefore, there must be at least three South Celestial Poles, each with its own (identical) set of stars, plus a single North Celestial Pole in the centre. This idea is best imagined as a set of "celestial gears" - but try not to take the analogy too far; there is no evidence that the stars are etched onto anything solid that may be termed a "gear".

RS dodges the issue. How many SCPs does FE require. The answer is one for every observer, including cameras, on the planet, and not just those in the SH. Northern observers see southern stars rotate. Each observer sees the SCP due south and at the RE predicted angle. So there are at least 6.6 billion SCPs and just as many "gears". Now ask yourself this question? Which provides a simpler explanation for more predictions more accurately? That's right! RE is the better model.
