This is a series where I take a look at one of the Flat-earth flyer, and discuss/debunk one section at a time. This video is looking at the very last paragraph and all about “Boats over the Curve? It is a common misconception that boats disappear out of sight because of the curvature of earth. The introduction of the Nikon P900 and P1000 have posed a real problem for the supposed curve of the earth. Just Zoom in!”

First we will go through their initial claim. Then I will try to touch on some arguments they often make when it comes to these kinds of photos.

Finally, we will talk about the famous Black Swan.

So, buckle up.
