I guess to summarize. If the rare abilities lead one to outhink

While the rest of the world believes that the world is flat. It could
lead one to think that they are insane.

Do you really think that others will view a person insane based upon one idea
or thought that they don't themselves consider to be "normal"? I would tend
to think that something a bit more drastic would have to occur for a person
to be considered "insane". That could just be me, though.

Based upon the theories that are

prevailant within thier time of existence.
But, in reality, the sane person was fooled into thinking that they were
insane. Though, if they would have stuck to thier original beliefs. They
would have been proven correct. Once the first person made it around the
world. And never fell off of the flat earth.

So then, as soon as this person proves this theory right, they are no
longer considered to be insane? I am guessing then at some point if a man
decides to kill another, then openly eat the body in a public area, he will
eventually not be considered to be insane, right? I mean, come on, what if
this man shows us just how nutritious it is to eat raw human flesh after
killing....He must not be insane!
