No matter how high you go, the horizon stays in the same place relative to your perspective.
it was nonsense because you called a horizon line a "convergence point"...
ok now that we've moved past it, you do realize that you just contradicted your FE theory?
the only reason you can see further, is because the line of sight changes, as you go up. here's a genius drawing that explains how that concept works:

i guess what you are hinting at is a vanishing point concept, but that would only apply to a small object not an "infinitely" large plane of the flat earth.
stay in school.
