If you ask any optician, refraction can do way more than that.
My argument is that refraction undermines any line-of-sight experiment conclusions, and in the right conditions, can make the earth appear flatter than it is, if you are unaware of, or unwilling to accept, this effect.
By asserting that there is a distortion, you are unwittingly helping me make that argument.

Rekrunner, why are you responding to this troll. What difference does refraction make? He's claiming that 2 people 6 feet tall shouldn't be able to see each other 3 miles away because of the curvature.
Where are his calculations to support this ridiculous assertion?
