Yeah, the model is actually remarkably solid. I'm convinced it started as a thought experiment, if the Earth was flat, how could you explain as much evidence to the contrary as possible without breaking the laws of physics? That's why there's absolutely no good reason why this conspiracy would be mainained by thousands of people for centuries without any gain - because that was not the point.
