You need to put that assertion to the proof, mate. I have. With the naked eye, and with every "bring 'em near" optical device we could lay hands on, the hull (ok, hulls) of the Aarhus-Copenhagen ferry (chosen because it always leaves on the same course and gets to the horizon PDQ) disappear at the same time, although the higher-power glasses give you a clearer view of the of the bits remaining above the horizon. If you're standing on the dock, of of course. I assume that if you're standing in the steeple of the church across the street you can see more for longer.Get a telescope and from the water's edge you'll consistently see distant objects that should be obscured by many feet of curvature.
Easy to put to the test; try it. Until then, you're talking through your hat.
