The perfect demonstration of why debating flat earthers is a circular argument that goes nowhere! The moment you think you've found common ground ("I agree, the Earth is round"), they somehow manage to simultaneously believe it's both round AND flat. It's like trying to explain to your cat why they shouldn't knock things off the table - they hear you, but they've already decided physics is optional. The desperate "I meant SPHERICAL!" correction is the scientific equivalent of realizing you've stepped in quicksand - the more you struggle, the deeper you sink into absurdity.
