Incredibly and uniquely, he does actually believe the Earth rotates 360
degrees in a 24 hour solar day and not in a sidereal day; no amount of
discussion will change his crazed mind. He somewhat reminds me of a
character I once met who insisted pi was 22/7 because he'd been taught
that in school.

If a ball has 24 lines on it and when it turns 24 lines
makes it one 360 degree turn but then when it turns
only 23.9 lines??
Is that still a 360 degree turn?
No, of course not.
C,mon Androcles.
You should know better than that.

BTW: How was pi found out originally.
