The point is that the reasonable null hypothesis is flat. Itâs the starting point, before you apply the scientific methods.
Itâs quite simple to disprove that however, particularly if you have access to an ocean, or large body of water.

Thatâs like trying to tell me a banana isnât radioactive because it doesnât taste like it. If you use any form of measurement to check the curvature of the earth, then you see that it is round. Using your eyes is the absolute worst way to base fact.
Also, this wasnât targeted at you. Iâm not calling you dumb or anything, just making the argument. I know you are presenting the devilâs advocate stance in good faith.

The null hypothesis isnât âdevilâs advocateâ itâs just where you start from with no other information.
