Yeah their 'perspective' argument/explanation is really just them grasping at straws. They say we can't see coastal Lisbon, Portugal from coastal New York because of obstacles or some shit like that, but somehow we can see stars on the horizon just fine. It's laughable and they know it, but they still hold to their beliefs in FE. They are a strange lot. Anyway, glad that you see through this and use your brain in logical ways. That's getting to be a rare thing these days.
