Unfortunately doing that would only bring out the flat-earthers shouting I had done it wrong, that I was faking it - faking it failing! - that the system was rigged. Knowing that it would be expensive to do and that that would be the result, however, takes all the potential fun out of it.
The only way to convince a true believer is to have them see it always fail all of the time for them selves and even then that doesn't always work.
