I’m not asking what you know. I’m asking what you suspect.
A central part of flat earth research is identifying and eliminating/suppressing such beliefs. I attempt to deal with what i actually know (and have validated), which is what objective study (the ideal) requires.
Belief (e.g. suspicion, speculation) is the enemy of knowledge and objective study of any kind.
I know that the world isn't spherical the way we are taught. I could guess [suspect] as to the actual shape, but that is exactly what brought the ancient greeks to the incorrect conclusion (which we inherited) millennia ago.
Have you done research into shapes other than flat earth?
It is best to simply research the earth's shape directly - whatever it may be, ideally without such preconceptions/beliefs/biases.
In terms of evaluating other peoples ideas / conclusions as to the shape of the world - yes. I have evaluated/researched spherical and concave notions, as well as those that think it is flat.
I mean there are many more options than spherical, concave, and flat, of course. Have you done research into a cuboid earth?
