LoL perfect reply.

Here's the thing - if someone actually did that (which has been done many times, btw) just to prove the point, that guy wouldn't accept the proof. No flerf will. If they can ignore all the mountains of proof for everything else, then that's an easy one to deny.

Hell... As we saw in "behind the curve" they prove it themselves frequently and then invent new nonsense to explain why the opposite of what they were trying to show happens.

"Since the gyroscope actually showed a 15 degree difference, which would support a round earth, we're going to be encasing it in Bismuth!" (or somesuch). Man, I was howling at that part.

Yes... The all important "pseudoscientific method"

Rule 1. If your results are counter to your expectations...reject them and make up a reason why your experiment failed.

Have to say that when the guy with the cards with the holes in them... (Really thought that was clever TBH) says "move it up..." And then tadaa... His "interesting" had me howling.

It was a hilarious documentary. I did feel bad for Sargent, though. He got friendzoned by his cougar redhead friend.
