Ask Adam Savage: plane on a conveyor belt controversy

Yet, as he mentions in the vid, people will still reject this reality and substitute their own.

He’s right though in that how the premise is framed is key here and it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking the plane should be stationary and folks shouldn’t be shamed if they do think that until the light bulb moment of realising the wheels don’t provide motion. I feel like the BBS just had this discussion! It’s never going away.
