Parsifal, your "prove setting circles work" demand is no different to saying "prove cars work" or "prove x-ray machines work", or any other man made device.
Which can be very easily done.

I have already explained this, because the term "using setting circles" is a summary of:
I have set up my telescope with proper polar alignment, navigated from one known star to another known star by using right ascension and declination coordinates, and found that what the telescope ends up pointed at agrees in practice with what theory predicts it should. I have done this many times. So have thousands of others.
Excellent. You have finally made a claim. I guess you fell asleep while drawing the diagrams that will accompany your proof, which I eagerly await.

Edit: Oh, and you have yet to point out the relevancy of all this to distances measured on the Earth, of course. Since you've been rambling about setting circles for quite long now, I'm sure you're more than ready to do that.

Having provided a link to a video as well as a detailed description, a diagram would add no further value than if you asked for a diagram of "how to drive a car" for example. A visual guide and worded description are more useful.
Because you again don't seem to be able to make the mental leap to see how this is relevant to distances measured on the earth, I'm going to give you a clue and say look at the title of the thread. The clue is in the last two words. Don't strain your brain (though I suspect there's no danger of that, what with the "mental thermostat" you appear to have which cuts it off when neural activity gets too intense).

Actually, you just missed the point of the analogy by taking it too literally. The point was that no matter how many times a prediction comes true, you can never be certain that it will always hold true -- in other words, you cannot know that the prediction is valid in general.
You definitely do not understand science, but continue to play scientist from time to time.

Of course "no matter how many times a prediction comes true, you can never be certain that it will always hold true". That is not even an interesting issue for the scientists, and it is not even mentioned directly or indirectly in the Scientific Method. That is a difference between mathematics or philosophy and science: absolute knowledge is not even a goal to strive for. Nobody is looking at every star in the universe to see if it also generates gravitational pull. Nobody is looking at the sky from every square meter of Earth to see if the cloudless sky is blue at noon in every place on Earth. And that has not impeded the advancement of science.

Science is not about absolute truths, it is about solid, and if possible, overwhelming evidence. It is not about the philosophical quest for absolute knowledge on any specific question.

Are you saying the land itself will look stretched out from above? 

Distances as seen from the ground itself will appear longer? 

Both?
Neither. Please read the diagram.
I did.


The solution itself bases on the fact that, due to bendy light, rays hit the Earth at different angles, and thus the projections of the same length on the surface will differ. They will be longer as we approach the rim. Thus, what we currently consider a metre will appear considerably longer, leading us to an illusion of RE distances. The definition of our units of length is at fault - it is an application of optics (which already assume perfectly straight light rays, hitting the round Earth at approximately 90 degrees). An actual unit of length should take Bendy Light into account, and thus consider an apparently longer distance to be - more or less - the same as something smaller closer to the pole.
And that's what your diagram seems to show, light hitting at an angle and making things look longer, and it's all based on unproven Bendy Light doing more twists and turns than Lee Harvey Oswalds magic bullet and then somehow aligning for every person on the planet to make the sun look normal, and yet when it hits the surface of the unproven flat earth at an angle distances appear longer (but only near the rim) and you use Google Maps to confirm this varied distance phenomenom, to which I explained Google Maps and also pointed out that it contradicts the flat earth map you used.

Yeah, your post concerns a different flat Earth model, a diagram which must clearly not be my diagram (would you like to reveal the mystery?), and a random Google Maps fact that has nothing to do with my claims.
Sure, it does contain supposedly similar terms. It's just that the posts have nothing to do with each other.
Feel free to rest your case as much as you want; you haven't stated a case a yet, though.

Also, bendy light is not proven, and is contrary to the idea that "it's flat because it looks flat".
False.

I think/hope that what he's trying to say is Bendy light is not proven to bend as you FE'ers claim it does, nor have you conducted experiments to test how it bends, to what degree, etc.

EDIT: By the way, that was a very pretty diagram in the OP.

The distances, and thus areas, are exactly the same as "in RET". Please read the OP.

The OP specifically says that Bendy Light resolves this evident problem of every FE theory, so the problem of the area of Colorado, or of Australia in both maps is relevant and critical.

Light is not the only way to measure distances and areas. Millions of people are traveling the roads of every continent and planning their long trips carefully, then checking their progress hour by hour with the odometer, which does not use light, and with their watches, which do not use light, bendy or otherwise.

Distances are measured primarily based on what we see. Our definition of distance is based upon that. And yes, the "problem" (there's no problem) of Colorado is relevant, which is why I addressed it. Please, read posts before replying to them. It's awkward this way.

Exactly how does the odometer of a car "see" what it is measuring?

Seeing is used in some, not all the methods for measuring.

The "distortion" of the FE map will not affect an odometer's results, for it is just an optical illusion. Your point?

lrn2angular sector plz.
mapping on a circular surface vs a spherical one is differrent. I've shown before via integration that if colorado is on a circular surface, its are is off by nearly 40%.

And ignoring the whole compass, angular sector thing, you should first learn how land is surveyed before you try to argue it away. light has no bearing on how odometers in cars are consistent with the RET predicted size of colorado. Unless you can create a flat earth model that accurately predicts the shape of Colorado, it is inferior.

the distortion of the map? you misunderstand. The point is, that distance is measured by sight and by physically measuring the distance. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surveying

nothing short of saying the geometry of the universe is grossly non euclidean will make up for it.
your argument about bendy light is non sequiter. distances are not an illusion of optics. but a physical fact. again land surveying doesn't only rely on looking of into the distance.
you agree that the area of Colorado is 269837 km^2, so therefore your model has to reflect that. It does not for reasons stated.

Out of two sentences, you chose the wrong one. I am beginning to believe that your reading comprehension might be at fault.

Yes, and yes, physically speaking.

The surface does predict this result, it's your proof, based entirely on optics, which does not predict it. Your calculations are not part of FET and should not be treated as such.

and don't tell me that they do, because I've already shown that they don't
No, you've shown that something that doesn't happen doesn't happen. Unfortunately, you did not account for Bendy Light.
If you hold to your logic, you also have to accept my ace disproof of RET:
Since there obviously is no gravity in RET, the Earth cannot be round, because people would float off.
