This is what I found the most interesting when getting into flat earth, that even if an idea adds up to being a bunch of nonsense, if you can give people enough compelling ideas and arguments, they can hang tight to that idea indefinitely and you can see the types of mental gymnastics they go through to pull that off. It becomes easier to evaluate the human nature aspect since the science aspect is so obvious.
