We were observing a pre-warp civilization. The mission was going according to plan until they told me they thought their world was flat. They weren't in the equivalent of our 14th century.

Many of the people there, and by 'people' I mean 'idiots', claimed to be "questioning" types who asked why they should just "go along" with the claim that their planet is round.
