So you'd think this would be solid proof but the atmosphere refracts light (curves it downward) so the math never quite added up before that was taken into account and you would be able to see things much farther away then you should just based on geometry.
Also anytime there is real proof they just come up with more outlandish explanations

American Morse code is more complicated as it has two lengths of dashes and two lengths of inside a character spacing https://imgur.com/0MIkiUh.jpg
