    He actually dodged the question by simply asserting distances are linear and only work on a flat plane by not saying how it is the result is accurate on a globe and what method he could use to calculate the same distance on a flat plane. There was no attempt to calculate the distance to Russia on a flat plane.
    This is the same logic he used with celestial navigation. Assert it only works on a flat plane. Fail to explain why it actually does work on a globe, and fail to demonstrate it ever being used assuming a flat plane.

    Maybe one could argue that since the earth's shape is better approximated as an oblate spheroid than a sphere, you'd have to deal with the fact that ellipses have no algebraic solution for their perimeter. Or you could argue that the earth is not even a perfect oblate spheroid, having infinitely intricate topographical features, so you'd have a coastline paradox if you don't create a minimum for the division size, but that seems a little beyond most flat earthers.

    @Bob, sir I take issue with your casual comparison of Nathan Oakley and Fester. While there is a passing semblance and perhaps in a dimly lit old mansion such a mistake might be made one must consider the following points:
    1. Fester's ideas have coherence.
    2. Fester has charisma.
    3. Fester has friends and fans.
    4. Fester is a handsome devil.
    5. Fester does not act like a sociopath.
    6. Fester does not act like a sociopath.
    ( I felt that that the last point is so significant it warrants repetition).
