3 miles is loads, all the way to horizon with nothing obscuring vision, you wouldn't notice 3 feet at all. 6 feet is the drop, needs to go up and down for a bump
that's like a 1:4800 ratio, you wouldn't notice a 0.2mm inflection over a meter would you
Seems like your confusing a particular limited view with the Pythagorean math for the curve on a ball. Your particular limited view does not negate that the curve should always be there.
For example - if you can only see 3 miles into the horizon you should not be able to notice the curve, If your up in an airplane at 40, 000 feet - you should be able to see the curve.
There is plenty of video evidence that shows the cockpit view of an airplane with 180degree panorama that shows no curve. There is also video of people doing 5 mile laser tests where curve should be measurable and where you dont rely on guessing and misconceptions - you can measure it to the inch and at 5 miles away from any point there should be 200 inches of drop - that's 16 1/2 feet of drop, it's clearly not their.
