It sort of reminds me when I was in elementary school and a jet was going west to east overhead and was already mostly in the east and a friend said, look, the jet’s going to crash; it’s heading straight down. I tried to explain to him that it was heading across the sky toward the horizon, not down toward the ground, but he was phenomenologically not analytically-oriented and couldn’t conceive that anything could be different from how it appeared to him.
