cdenley, you asked a question at the beginning of this article claiming what Tom Bishop argued was untrue and contradicted by your source. You asked for another source, and we satisfied you on that point. We're not picking or choosing facts. You asked:
In an unrelated thread, Tom Bishop claims that neither party had agreed on the outcome of the experiment, and the wager wasn't paid. Are there any reliable sources which contradict the article I linked to above?
And we have shown that this is exactly what happened. Now you're asking us a very different and very vague question:
Now that I have read such a detailed account of the wager, I would be interested in how FE'ers would interpret the result of the experiment. If you're not familiar with the result, you can read about it in the preview provided above.
My answer is that it was a long time ago, and to be honest, I'm not sure the experiment could prove anything either way. All current FE theories would predict the same results.
Yes, the point addressed in my original post was addressed. By the way, the contradiction was more than a claim, as I provided the article which you could have read for yourself. As I had indicated, once I read the reference you had given, I became curious about how a FE'er would explain the results. Do you insist that I start a new thread? It didn't seem too off-topic.
Since Rowbotham's Bedform Level experiment is often cited as evidence the earth is flat by FE'ers, then how could all FE theories predict these results? You don't all seem to believe in "bendy light", and that is the only explanation I have read so far. Also, last I checked, the official FET no longer accepted "bendy light".
