We're talking about people who think a helicopter being able to hover over a stationary point is proof the Earth is flat because if it weren't, the ground would move away from the helicopter. I'm guessing none of them have ever actually piloted a helicopter before.

I have only piloted a helicopter in a simulator, and every time I tried to hover, the ground definitely moved away and then it tipped over and went splat.
