Oh wow, I don't know where to start! This is a really fun word. And I can think of some applications in my actual life, so it's going to make the irritated monologue in my head a bit more entertaining, which is always appreciated. AND I didn't know the flat-earth hypothesis was still a thing to be believed in. Oh my. I do know about young-earth creationists, though, so I guess this isn't too far off? (I work with a science and religion scholar, and the most amusing portion of the criticism he encounters comes from young earth creationists in the American south.)
