On Niven's construct, you couldn't SEE any curvature. The world
looked flat, with an arch rising over it at some extreme distance.

A better label would be that this is an image that CLARKE fans might
find strangely familiar.

Agreed. Although it is nice to see references to both Niven and Clarke
these days.
