    I debated whether or not to call it an oblate spheroid like a huge nerd or just use the “earth is round” shorthand that most people are familiar with. While not perfectly round, I think most people would agree an oblate spheroid is a round shape in the general sense.

      That was actually what I was getting at - there are too many variables in life. Only go as correct as you need to in the moment, and be understanding when others aren’t precisely correct either.

      (which I think is what you were getting at, too?)
