[Lewis Thomson (OP)]

Peter says:

When asked about flat-earthers your comment was spot on.  What is a huge concern is the perverse discrediting of true knowledge.
Your approach as an orator is, I believe, an excellent tool to offset this retrograde behaviour.   Again my hat is off to you and your colleagues.
Your willingness to address simple questions with thoughtful answers is indicative of your dedication to society’s well being.
