Though even then, the sun would never go below the horizon, it would fly off in a stright line and disappear. Going below the horizon only works on a globe
The idea is that the light is small and close. It doesn't need to go over the horizon to disappear in the distance.
I'm not sure how they explain the random pattern the light would need to travel for different seasons or why it looks so massive as it rises or sets.
"it doesn't need to go over the horizon to disappear in the distance", but the problem is that it does go over the horizon rather than disappearing, as anyone who's seen a sunset can attest
Following their own logic, you should be able to see the sun with enough magnification.
Well that's your problem right there: you're using logic.
