   Everybody goes whole-hawg with the data they HAVE, or
   at least the favored way of SEEING it. They will stick
   with that religiously until they just HAVE to change.

   Those poor people ... caught between an ever-growing
   mountain of facts/evidence and equally-persuasive
   *belief* (which requires no facts). They TRY to find
   ways to splice it all together. It doesn't work well ...

   Somewhere, their little gears are gonna just seize-up.

   In the news a few days ago - some ardent 'flat earther'
   guy (apparently a True Believer) paid big $$$ to go to
   the south pole in order to test his theories about a
   geometrically suspect 'disk shaped' earth where the
   north and south pole were kind of the same thing.

   It didn't work out for him. However he didn't QUITE
   admit defeat ...

   Sad bit is that the Greeks had it all figured out
   by around 500bc ... with surprising accuracy ...
   using naught but pointed sticks, a few bits of
   string and some basic geometry.
