It is not the wrong figure if you want to represent an amount of energy equal to the solar constant less energy lost due to the albedo irradiating the entire surface of the planet at once.  It is not the wrong figure if you want to represent the earth as a flat disk.

 


 

No, lets not.

 

 

Till you demonstrate that you understand what the left side of this equation means, there is no point in continuing because it just gets more complicated.  If you don't understand the basics, you can't possibly understand how vectors and the Stefan - Boltzman law relates to the interactions between EM fields.  If you really don't understand the math as I have explained, you will understand even less regarding the fallacy of backradiaion.  If you are playing stupid, I am not inclined to humor you further.
