You remain blind to, either willfully or unconsciously, my argument. Instead you come back with puerile rejoinders.

Look at the original quote from the article - "when seen from above". There was an assumption there that seen from above means seen from above the North Pole. Thus an assumed frame of reference when none was needed.

I do not assume seeing the Earth from above means seeing it from above the North Pole. Neither would an astronaut, who don't have to assume, they live the experience of seeing the Earth from all orientations.
