Midnight Sun
Came across this while researching FE and was wondering how do you guys combat the midnight sun argument?

Any argument against flat Earth that does not address the Earth is a red herring fallacy and is rightfully discarded.
You don't have to explain anything about the sky if you don't make claims about it.
If it is claimed as proof that the Earth is a globe, then the argument is a begging the question fallacy for assuming antipodal positioning on a ball and an affirming the consequent formal logical fallacy.
If "P" then "Q".
"Q".
Therefore "P".
If the Earth is a ball ("P"), then there we will see a 24 hour sun in Antarctica ("Q").
We did see a 24 hour sun in Antarctica ("Q").
Therefore the Earth is a ball (therefore "P").

There is NO midnight sun argument
IF you disagree, place the logical syllogism somewhere for us to review.
Sun doesnβt go below the horizon on a flat earth. π
