I can just watch them trying to find something to show me I'm wrong. All I ever get is 'that's not how it works'. They can't tell me how water gets from point to point with no fall. Somehow their mind tells them that Sea Level is some accurate measurement and that decreasing means water goes from high to low. Which works for a 2d plane.
