Reflections
Wondering if any of the veterans in here have come across any studies/presentations pertaining to symmetrical reflections over areas such as the Bolivian salt flats - perhaps a modelled version of what the reflection 'should' look like given the alleged curvature, as opposed to what we see.
Would there be clear visual distortions, or would the distortions be too far away and become compressed, or not legible to the human eye?
Looking to deepen my understanding before I can stand by this as a rock solid FE proof. Cheers

You seem to be implying water surface could bend at its surface to conform to the exterior of a sphere. (Begging the question)
However level doesn't lie; people do.
0° slope is never going to be anything other than 0° slope. [Level]
Therefore water surface reflections require zero degree slope (level water), otherwise you wouldn't find it puddled and perfectly still to have a perfect reflection on its surface.
Thus I'd like to ask; why so hesitant to hold it as "a solid FE proof"? (In your own words) Cheers
