Many Flat-Earthers simply don't know science. They don't know what they are talking about. They can parrot talking-points about geometry, inertia and relativity, but when you try to have a discussion with them, they get confused and angry.

Flat-Earthers refuse to provide hard data.
Flat-Earthers refuse to run rigorous experiments to test their theory whether Earth is flat.
There are so many eyewitness-accounts that Earth is flat, but somehow there are no photographs, no measurements, no hard data you can double-check.

I kid you not:
Their best-possible evidence that Earth is flat is a series of eyewitness-accounts from 150 years ago.
