Yes and Columubus used the wrong tranlation for the mile and ended up calculating a 75% shorter distance than it actually was.

As I said, part of the reason, and by no means the whole story. Remember this took place even before The heliocentric solar system was championed by
Galileo (and smacked down by the chruch.). Do not underestimate the clerical influence of the time on matters pertaining to science. Yes, you can pull out
flat earthers and spherical earthers from the history of the Christian church from Aquinas to Tertulian and find varying answers as to the shape.

Great point though.

Cheers,
