I’m open minded enough to consider both possibilities are any of you??
I'm willing to bet, like every other Flat Earther, that you'd never heard of this nor any other experiment that gets brought up, before you became one. I'm also willing to bet that you came to the position that this particular experiment PROVES the Earth is motionless before ever looking at the experiment itself. In fact it's highly likely you've still never looked at the write-up of the actual experiment.
Like every other Flat Earther, you've accepted something you were told by a third party because it already appeared to agree with your position. You've accepted something that was never concluded by the experiment designers themselves.
I myself am trying to manage my own irrational position. Mine is that I think all I have to do is show a FE'er why a single specific reason they've claimed is actually NOT the case, and they'll go away and look into it, eventually dropping it from their set of reasons. Note that this isn't confronting the underlying belief that the world is flat. Just a single reason that supposedly supports that position.
Do you remember your reaction to the video I linked earlier, that showed how anyone could test whether the horizon rises to eye level or not? You did everything you could to avoid considering it or even explaining how it helped YOUR case.
You call yourself open minded. You are decidedly not.
However, for reasons unknown, I have a soft spot for Flat Earther's. Perhaps it's the challenge of showing them one thing they're demonstrably wrong about being accepted!
What part of the world are you from? You're almost certainly a big fan of John Smith channel am I right? I am as well (it's a sickness, I've prob watched almost every video), though definitely for very different reasons.
