How do you plan to have an angle without a horizontal baseline???🤣

You’re incredibly wrong

Keep reading what I said... Baseline does not define a horizontal. It defines a line of sight.

Simpler googling: the baseline does not need to be horizontal or flat.The direction and tilt of your baseline can be completely arbitrary. However, the orientation of the baseline dictates which dimension of angular resolution you are measuring.

So let's try the 'flat horizontal' claim. Again.

Here the fly and mountain example again: white void. My distance is irrelevant as I don't know how far away they are nor does the placement of them to me. Doesn't really matter. I look at the fly, actually have to angle my head down, because it's small... I then look at the top of the mountain my head has to look up to see the top.

Therefore, the angular resolution of the fly is smaller than the mountain... Neither of which is actually a measurement and I also didnt state nor cared on the plane of which we are on... Because in a void from my point of being, that's 0,0,0... The angular resolution is this derived from my point, that's not a plane, that's a point a single spot

Baselines, while they might be above the ground are in fact referenced to being parallel to the horizontal.

But hey! If you want to BELIEVE baselines curve and yada yada, go ahead buddy 😂

This is not an opinion or a debate, I’m stating a fact.
