... every educated person in the world knows a sextant cannot be used to measure distance.
...
Yes, we all know a sextant measures angles.
It cannot measure distance to a celestial object.
I sure have to repeat facts a lot to you, don't I?

Fuck you man, You're straw-manning my argument about distance by changing it from the distance the diameter of the Sun spans to the distance from the viewer to the Sun.
The argument isn't about the distance to the Sun, that's calculated using trigonometry and another known distance such as that to a lighthouse. This is about the Sun's "angular size" relative to the horizon vanishing point (a visible object). It's directly measured at 32' with two readings, first you measure the angle between the bottom of the Sun and the horizon, then then the top and the difference is the angular size. One arc minute equals one nautical mile; the very definition of mile is one minute.
Kill yourself for being intellectually dishonest and straw-manning my argument you sack of shit. Also, this is the second time (
"I sure have to repeat facts a lot to you, don't I?") one of you shills straw-manned my argument about "angular size" with distance to the Sun, the Jewish method of
'accuse your opponent of what you're doing while you're doing it' rings true here doesn't it?
My proof the Earth is flat is empirical and it stands; the sextant measures angles on a plane and the Sun is 32 miles in diameter.
@Vod, how does it feel not being able to prove your claims and having to cry to authority and use intellectually dishonest argument tactics for every argument you make?
Canada is a Christian country Vod, the Bible is the highest authority. The Queen, her crown is place upon her head by the church. She literally still has "over 9000" power level with royal declarations. Your statements that the Earth is a spinning globe in a vacuum going around a million mile wide Sun a hundred millions miles away are in direct conflict with the Bible. Your statements are treasonous and provably so with empirically measured values. Not only that the political wing of globalism is a blatantly treasonous threat to Canada's sovereignty.
Canada still has the death plenty for one crime Vod, do you know what that is?
Do you know who
Giordano Bruno is? History tends to repeat itself Vod!
