OK, I can agree with that in general.
It is true there are large groups of persons, which can include scientists, that disagree with scientific facts. Some that matter and some do not. There are many scientists, for example, that believe in a God or a supreme being or intelligent design.
Overall I'm not sure the Flat Earthers' opinions on the shape of the planet has a true impact on anything any more than the larger percent of the population that believes the Earth is a round sphere. After all, the Earth is actually a irregularly shaped ellipsoid.
