We all would base our votes on the "best" information at a given time. In 1490, we all would have voted that the world is flat. In 1495, hopefully we would vote that the world is round. Changing information changes perspective.

The world wasn't flat when Hillary made a political decision rather than a moral one.

This may be a bit irrelevant but I'm sure most people in 1490 thought the Earth was round. If there was a debate it would have been like the evolution/creationist debate of today. Every sailor knew the Earth was round and if anyone had any basic knowledge of geographyor have ever seen a ship "disappear" over the horizon, they could have figured it out.
