Not true actually. The developed world has never believed the world was flat, most people thought it was either a spherical oblong or spherical. Just as some people don't believe it was possible to get to the moon in 1969 few people thought it was possible to sail oceans, but they found the technology and they sailed, mapping out our world. It's a mad, mad, mad,mad,mad,mad,mad,mad,mad,mad,mad,mad,mad,mad world.
just as then, the uneducated held on to beliefs given by others who where uneducated and preyed on ignorane to establish themselves as having special knowledge. ironic really that they should claim thers ridicule of science when it is they that ignore science, believing individuals with "alternative" ideas over the knowledge of 99% other experts.
