Well, one thing that disputed does not mean is disproven.
Irrelevant. No one claimed it did.
Great, then discussing that something has been disputed is equally irrelevant. So Cavendish stands as an experiment that disproves FET. Thanks.
lolwat. Disputed does also not mean that it is inherently true, nor inherently false.
As far as I know, who ever said it didn't. But still: So Cavendish stands as an experiment that disproves FET. Thanks.

I've always liked disputing things. It sounds a little like proving something false but with out the proof and the obvious inconvenience of actually having to prove your point. I'm a prime example I dispute the Cavendish experiment, if he couldn't even get his arithmetic right how can I trust him to find G. Thankfully he wasn't trying to find G so all im disputing is his measurement of the density of the Earth. Thankfully a number of other folk have used torsion balances to measure G more recently.

M. Fitzgerald and T. R. Armstrong, IEEE Trans. on Inst. and Meas.  44, 494 (1995)
W. Michaelis, H. Haars, and R. Augustin, Metrologia  32, 267 (1995)

H. Walesch, H. Meyer, H. Piehl, and J. Schurr, IEEE Trans. on Inst. and Meas.  44, 491 (1995)
J.H. Gundlach, E.G. Adelberger, B.R. Heckel, and H.E. Swanson, Phys. Rev. D  54, 1256 (I don't think this uses a torsion balance)

What debate? Allow me to remind you that you eventually refused to discuss with me. There is no debate, just a series of accusations and the lack of understanding of a certain phrase.
Anyway, let's stop derailing the thread. Answer the original question.
I've just read over the whole thread. You picked strawman after strawman, until it was probably realized that you were a lost cause, a casualty of madness. #1 was incorrect, because he essentially said if one were to look from a height, one would not see curvature. That is his premise, and without a source, it is based on the conclusion that the earth is flat. Therefore it is not proof, regarding that his premise is false
