I need you to try casting a perfectly crisp eclipse like we see using 2 or 3 different sized balls. You'll soon realize that in order to get an eclipse to work like what we see the object casting the shadow needs to have a flat edge. Flat earthers don't have all the answers to everything, a lot we are still researching and figuring out. We don't get 63 million dollars a day like nasa, we have to use our own money to conduct our own experiments. And it isn't exactly legal to be shooting off rockets or go adventuring to Antarctica all willy-nilly like. We are completely ok with saying "I don't know" because it's better than lying.
Good luck, but if you think a lunar eclipse is perfectly crisp, you haven't seen one or don't understand what is going on. The Earth's shadow consists of a penumbra and an umbra, where the umbra is the deepest part of the shadow. The Moon progresses through these zones. But the umbra is not complete, because the atmosphere refracts some sunlight into the umbra. Because of atmospheric Rayleigh scattering, the sunlight that gets through will be reddish in color, which creates the standard (classic) copper tint on the Moon.
