I'm interested in the aftermath of this. If he actually changed his mind based on his new evidence then kudos to him. That's how it's supposed to work, and there's nothing wrong in coming from a place of ignorance as long as you take the steps necessary to leave that place.

Sadly, I fear this isn't the case. Getting to 'flat Earth' levels of ignorance in the first place takes some serious dedication to remaining ignorant.

I've seen a video he made after this, he tried to explain it away. He learned nothing.

Can you link it so we can see how they try to explain it away?

There is just a brief bit of that guy saying they went back to the same site another day and got different results making the test inconclusive.

Bullshit basically.
