well ... not to be nitpicky, and i recognize this is a sensitive topic ... but i have come to understand that the simpler model is to be preferred, if it is precise enough for the practical purpose. As such, since most people aren't satellite engineers, they don't need to know about earth's curvature. Earth being flat is often the simpler model, of enough precision, to actually prefer it.

Just saying.
