Serious question, I hit 50 replies in a flat earth thread and the number shocked me

I was just in this debate about the flat earth theory, right? I started counting how many times people repeated the same three arguments without any new info. I got to 50 replies before anyone even mentioned the actual horizon line you can see from a plane. It's wild how many folks just copy-paste talking points from videos instead of looking out a window themselves. I flew from Dallas to LA last month and you could clearly see the curve. But in that thread, it was like talking to a brick wall that kept saying 'NASA lies'. Has anyone else tried to track how often the same points get recycled in these debates? I'm curious if other theories have the same problem.

Was it really that serious to count them all?

What kind of question is that? If you start a count, you finish it. Otherwise the whole thing is pointless. It's about seeing something through. Not counting them all would just feel wrong.
