But you did. You said, and I am paraphrasing a little bit here 'If the globe is round we should see an arc". News flash: The globe is round. That means that you predicted that an arc would be found. It does not matter that you contradicted yourself in the next sentence. Once again I understand both what you write and what you mean to write.
Like I said — regardless of the shape of the earth, the experiment concluded that an arc did not exist.
Second of all, you said that I CLAIMED that an arc exists.
What I wrote is that an arc does not exist.
You can’t say that I claimed that an arc exists when I clearly said that an arc does not exist.
Because at the end of the day — an arc DOES NOT exist, and that’s exactly what I said.
You don’t get to change the rules of language/conversation and decide what means what.
Only a fool who is afraid of admitting to his mistake would do that.
