Which was the marketing theme favoured by flat earthers!

If you go with flat earth you'll confuse people who don't know what the term means and alienate (a) those who understand it to mean anti-science and (b) those who think it means Linn/Naim-based intolerance. If you need to write screeds to explain what you mean by 'flat earth' that sort of defeats the object. Just use 'subjectivist: if it sounds good, it is good'.
