Your Definition

The most popular ad hoc excuse used by a Flat Earther when cornered with problems that can be perceived by our own eyes such as objects behind the horizon, the existence of two celestrial poles, sunsets and so on. The term itself is not actually used by the Flerf who simply refers to it as "perspective" - but since it has ZERO to do with the ACTUAL laws of perspective, opponents of the Flat Earth came up with this portmanteau instead.

When pressed for details, the "explanation" given is basically an assault on your brain cells. It involves the "vanishing point" which is yet another real concept hijacked by the Flat Earth to suit their warped agenda. This vanishing point (which is conveniently as far away as the horizon would be on a globe) is the reason objects become smaller with more distance (except when it's the sun) and when reached, instead of being gone, the object has its lower half cut off because apparently that's how it works now ... for some reason.

Other variations include "You can only see so far!" which is a card often pulled when confronted with the question why we can't see the sun at night when it's allegedly always above the surface of the earth. Why this Nobel-Prize worthy discovery doesn't account for stars even further away than the sun is brilliantly explained with "Do your own research!"
