There is only one fact, the roundness of the Earth. You can't deny it when people have gone AROUND it. And did so on the basis of a firm understanding that it was round. Magellan accomplished the incontrovertible proof and that was 500 years ago. There has been no room for doubt ever since.
An Earth sufficiently large will look "flat" over small portions. There is no "third answer" except maybe to clarify misunderstandings (and explain atmospheric refraction). This truth has never been "polluted over the centuries." We base our international travel on it, and the whole enterprise of space travel.
I repeat my statement. The truth is stark and immutable. You are trying to run away from it in order to satisfy your paranoia.
