What willful misrepresentation.
Already clearly explained.
On the basis of what John provided, and what Rab has provided, there is no issue with seeing the light. But your high prophet Row Boat wants to pretend there is a problem for the RE. So he leaves out key pieces of information, the actual altitude of the observer and the actual altitude of the light.
This allows him to completely ignore how far away the horizon would be for the observer and then how much would be hidden beyond the horizon and instead just incorrect focus on the drop from the observer as if they were at sea level, to then pretend there is a problem for a RE.
He even follows it up with:
"Many other very long "sights" have been taken by surveyors of different countries, which upon a globe of 25,000 miles in circumference, would have been quite impossible;"
But as clearly shown it isn't impossible at all.
He is blatantly misrepresenting what happened by leaving out key details and then blatantly lying about it.
Quit whining about the rest of what is included in "Experiment 14" and deal with this blatant dishonesty by your high prophet.
Rowbotham doesn't give elevations to the Spain observation, the heliostat observation, or any other surveyor reference.
Yes, he leaves out that key piece of information to pretend there is a problem, providing a completely useless number as a comparison, and quite clearly indicates that such observations would be impossible on a round Earth.
Quite dishonest of him.
Yet, you sit here and attempt to make a false argument; basically lying, in either desperation or deception, to make some kind of argument.
Good job projecting the inadequacies of your high prophet and yourself.
Rowbotham does give us elevations to his experiments.
Which he doesn't even present as an actual experiment that he did and instead seems to do it as a thought experiment. But as he is shown to be quite happy to lie or be blatantly dishonest, his words are worth nothing.
Do you have anything to back the claims of his experiment?
The only thing he seems to appeal to is a survey which shows elevation. But that doesn't mean they lie on a line.
Your mindset is clearly "how can I twist this...." and "If I can at least claim to assume..." on this and many other topics. This is why I see this as dishonesty in general.
Projecting yet again.
Your mind set, throughout these forums seems to be "how can I twist this to pretend there is a problem for the RE and that the FE is fine, using whatever tactics I can, regardless of how dishonest."
Even now, when people were clearly discussing one key part of what is included under "Experiment 14" where your high prophet is pretending there is a problem for the RE, you flee from it and try to bring up other irrelevant bits.
Deal with his dishonesty first.
