i'm sorry that you are unable to take anything but such a myopic view of what i was trying to say.
my point was not that people learning that the earth was round was analogous to 2% of the population disappearing (you know this event is fiction and didn't actually happen right?), i was just trying to provide some perspective to illustrate that we do not know nearly as much as we think that we do.
i apologize for not "following the line of discussion" exactly and refusing to fulfill completely unreasonable requests to provide specific real life historical events that are equivalent to pure fantasy ones.
