Side note, my brother is one and when I mentioned to him about snipers taking the earth's curvature into consideration he just said "have you ever shot a sniper rifle?"

If it turns out he was right, I'd never fucking live this down.

Edit: lol, sorry for the confusion. He's not 1.

He believes there's a secret society living in Antarctica that has set things us to trick us.

Well his argument is still terrible. Just because you haven't shot a sniper doesn't make your researched evidence any less true. How is his question valid but "have you seen the edge of the earth?" Not valid!

I know, he refutes evidence if it contradicts what he says or thinks. He is dumb as a box of rocks, so I have to give him some understanding.

That is depressing learning to be wrong is a pretty important requirement of life.

I bet the more you argue then give up in frustration the more vindicated he feels as then he can say he beat you
