Science if full of approximations and limitations. I am a scientists. I do not believe the earth is flat. But, over a small enough range, for piratical purposes the earth can be treated as flat. We make simplifications all the time in science.

I have no real point here, I am just saying; I can say the earth is flat and depending on my perspective and application I am correct within acceptable tolerance.
I would suggest there's a big difference between what you and I are talking about.

I'll guess it could help do equations or statistical analysis. However I bet you don't avoid traveling on vehicles, boats, trains or any other standard form of transportation because you fear falling off the earth. More to the point a flat earther is still deluded because of their belief system based of fear and ignorance, not based on knowledge or statistical facts as a scientist.

Most everyone has believe something dumb, wrong or false (no one's born with knowledge/facts, afaik). Yet when someone believes something without a single shred of creditable evidence and all evidence proves it false, then it becomes a neurosis.
