I think you're ignoring the experiment and moving to a different example because it's uncomfortable to address. Whenever the topic comes up the goalposts are always moved.
The perceived 'complexity' ...
If this experiment does suggest a flat earth…
1) we have this big pile of experiments and evidence over hear suggesting the earth is a globe and this 1 experiment here suggesting it’s flat. Occam’s razor would suggest the earth is a globe but there is a gap in our understanding ( or methodology, or data analysis of the 1 experiment) that needs reconciled.
2) we have this big pile of experiments and evidence over hear suggesting the earth is a globe and this 1 experiment here suggesting it’s flat.
Throw out all of the well established evidence because1 experiment appears to contradict it.
I’m ok with 2 IF an explanation can be given as to why each and every experiment and observation for a globe earth can be explained and a new model for each presented that can reliably predict what we observe in the real world.
