The earth is roundish

I remember when the news broke that the earth is not a perfect sphere, but is actually slightly egg-shaped. It was a new way of looking at it, challenging a long-held assumption. But my emotional reaction to it was... nothing. The earth is a sphere, the earth is an egg... what of it?

I'm trying to figure out if I should expect to have some sort of emotional reaction to other new ways of seeing things. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't.

The mountain is not a mountain, then it is, etc.
