Do you have evidence to prove this generalization?
I mean, how many examples do you want? There's that great video of the flat earthers performing an experiment with lights over a distance and finding the results conflict with a flat earth and conform to a sphere earth. "That's interesting."
Ah, now I recall.
Behind the Curve.
Throughout the film, flat Earth advocates discuss their experimental approaches to test the hypothesis that the Earth is flat.
The results of which are discarded due to researcher bias.
One of the more jaw-dropping segments of the documentary comes when Bob Knodel, one of the hosts on a popular Flat Earth YouTube channel, walks viewers through an experiment involving a laser gyroscope. As the Earth rotates, the gyroscope appears to lean off-axis, staying in its original position as the Earth's curvature changes in relation. "What we found is, is when we turned on that gyroscope we found that we were picking up a drift. A 15 degree per hour drift," Knodel says, acknowledging that the gyroscope's behavior confirmed to exactly what you'd expect from a gyroscope on a rotating globe.
"Now, obviously we were taken aback by that. 'Wow, that's kind of a problem,'" Knodel says. "
We obviously were not willing to accept that, and so we started looking for ways to disprove it was actually registering the motion of the Earth."

Campanella watches when the light is activated at the same height as the holes, but the light can't be seen on the camera screen. "Lift up your light, way above your head," Campanella says. With the compensation made for the curvature of the Earth, the light immediately appears on the camera. "Interesting," Campanella says. "That's interesting." The documentary ends.
