if I should be be so luckyI'm also now heartbroken.
With Australia not existing, it means kylie has lied all these years. I just don't know what to believe anymore. My life has been turned upside down.

I'll take it you mean the shore of the inner gradient to the shore of the outer gradient. Then yes it's unhindered in terms of flattish and level-ish from taking into account obvious wave movement from one shore to the other amid landmass protruding from it...etc.
Let's use the 6 miles depth and go with what's said about ocean depths.
Ok, so let's deal with this.
If I say a gradient that's gradual and say to you to walk a distance and tell me if you think you've walked up a mountain, you'll tell me that you walked and felt like it was flat or close to it. Only the change in air pressure would likely tell you different.
So I then draw a small diagram of what you trekked so you could see what you actually walked up and you see a mound. I'll call it a mound on the drawing.
Something like on that map I gave out as an idea of it. the O-F map.
If you were drawing a house on a piece of paper to scale I could understand how you can do it.
Trying to put an entire world to scale is impossible in terms of trying to give a picture that does not skew a person's vision of the explanation.
This is a classic case of it.
That depends on how you want to view it.
If I asked you to draw a sketch of your globe to show how I would be walking on it, you are going to draw it flat but that doesn't show me what you mean.
This is the same thing.
This is why I used two diagrams of Earth shape to illustrate what I was getting across.
Naturally if you take an orange squeezer as said then I can't help you.
Like I said earlier, I could've simply put up an orange squeezer and said " something like this."
That would've sent people into raptures and frenzies, worse than some go into on here.

Scale works at any size, that's the whole point and meaning of it.
Yes but on my 10 mile walk say, drawn as a section you would see a noticeable difference in level to scale even if gradual.
On yours it would just look completely flat as the change in level in proportion to distance across is nothing, it's about 0.05% change in level, a kitchen worktop will be out more than that.
Exactly

f***ing hell. the scale police.

So if I show you it completely flat and then tell you it's really a gradual gradient that rises many miles high to the centre and also rises up into a dome to the outer, you're going to tell me it looks flat.
You'll just have to keep whatever you believe it to be and I'll do the same for my side.

I think that is the problem. The earth is a flat disc and air pressure forces water down to be level across the whole disc. Fine, conspiracy theory one. But then theory two is it is a lemon squeezer and the water follows the contours of this giant space fruit squisher. He seems to be badly trying to mash the two together and can’t explain it because both contradict each other.
No matter how gradual the gradient, if water is level then the Arctic coast needs to be at the same height as the North African coast. Works on a flat earth, works on a globe earth, fails on a lemon squeezer. Or you go the other way and say water curves to the shape of the lemon squeezer, but then he blows his own single “proof” of the earth not being a globe out of the (bath) water.
It is how he has failed in the last 60 pages to actually explain the shape of his fantasy world because it is a mess of contradictions. A simple cross section or 3d diagram showing where real countries fit in and how the earth is shaped would answer it, but you can’t draw what will not work.
Following one conspiracy theory is one thing. Mashing two together badly is another altogether.
Statement of the day!

It's easily explained from my side. How you interpret it is your issue.
Works on a globe? How?
None at all. It's a mass of people not understanding my side but adding in what they think from their side. Including you.
For someone (you) that believes oceans stay on a spinning globe I feel I'm absolutely fine with what I go with.
So you can't explain it or draw it that's fine.
It doesn't work with the seas and you know it.

It does work.
It doesn't work for you because your mind is solely on the diagram as some super high mountain and think the water level comes to the top of it and so it also has to come up the outer part of the dome which mean you are thinking the water in the trough or moat is somehow thousands of miles deep.
I honestly can't help you on that.

It's a shame you're not going to watch this, it has some really good stuff about scale
You must be logged on to see media items
Nope you're completely wrong once again.
A section sketch would show us but you can't do one because.....
It doesn't work.

Pointless watching something that I don't believe in in terms of trying to show scale.
How about you do one and show me what you think it would be like.
You're the one trying to explain your world.
I drew a section of land masses rising up which you agreed with but then backtracked once we mentioned sea depths in the lower bowl.
How on earth can I draw a section of what you're saying, as I say its impossible.
But you could try.......

I'm the one that's being asked to explain it and when I do I'm told it's wrong.
So show me or just forget about it.
No you were going to draw a section to explain it but you haven't.
I showed you mine? You said you agreed with it initially, that's the only way it can work with a sloped land mass and continents rising up through the water, so where is your section to correct mine?
Feel free to print and draw over mine to amend?
Yeah the easy get out "if you can't draw what I'm thinking then we best leave it there"
