    On a flat Earth, the Sun's shadow would reach the upper atmosphere very quickly, except near the closest edge of Earth, and would always set at the same angle to the ground (which is not what is observed).

Scientist X was not trained in flat Earth theory, and therefore could not make an expert judgment. The criticisms made by scientist X were valid only against Rosencrantz' version of the flat Earth theory, long since outmoded.

    Thus for a co-ordinate system moving with the earth the mirror system of Michelson and Morley is not shortened, but it is shortened for a co-ordinate system which is at rest relatively to the sun.
