Man, what a polarizing topic!
Haha, no but seriously I have nothing to add, except that I am observing a rigorous adherence to the Zetetic Method in this thread. Supporting conjecture must be put forth in place of any opposing firsthand accounts, which in any case may be readily dismissed as inaccurate (intentionally so or otherwise). When presented with evidence, they will ask for proof. If anything resembling proof is put forth, it must be necessarily a deception, because all evidence must support FET because the world is flat. It is the very same mindset of a typical theist*, who firstly asserts the existence of a deity and so must "logically" embrace supporting evidence and reject all else.
It is essentially a reversal of the Scientific Method and this all supports the idea that FET is a faith-based belief structure and unrelated to any real scientific framework (see also: Creationism).
In conclusion, in the world of RET and traditional science, we (ideally) begin with the premise that we know nothing. In the world of FET, we begin with the premise that the world is flat.
