Re: <<All that matters is that the earth is in fact a globe. 
Which was known in
Chazal's time, and certainly in that of the rishonim.>>

I once had a list of sources which show chazal's knowledge 
of the earth being a ball.  When I went through them 
carefully, I felt that, in many of them, we are being 
influenced by our own knowledge to interpret their remarks 
as being clear statements of the earth being a ball when 
they reaslly aren't
