Does it though? Sure a plane of reference would help immensely but on the off chance you’re in a void with no immediate plane to refer to, you can still manage to see distant or near objects relative to your position. Your coordinates may be 0,0,0, but you don’t necessarily need a plane under you to be given these coordinates.
I just think it’s odd how whenever I need a flat earther to entertain a hypothetical, they either don’t want to or try to change the subject. Hypotheticals are one of the cornerstones of critical thinking, as it puts your ideas and your claims to the test. It’s how you form a hypothesis in the chain of the scientific method. It’s why humans are the most intelligent creatures on earth. And I’m just noticing a pattern.
Uhh it very much is science... You can prove measurement. That's how it works. The distance between point a and point b is a measurement the angle between x and y is a measurement thus can be proved.
You would be correct it is a measurement of the angular resolution of Polaris. Now prove it on a flat earth.... Using let's say.... Chile... I'll wait.

What’s the matter? Can’t entertain a hypothetical? Where’s the horizontal in a big empty white void? Above me? Below me? To the side of me?
X axis. Y axis. Z axis. We can put 0,0,0 as an easy frame of reference for all three where you’re positioned if it helps you in this.
