Nonononono! Nothing is wrong with the claims which
are false for the reality. Saying EG is - we're not trying
to deprecate it any way. Nonononononono! We would
never dare! Even if some of us call it "the delusions
of an old Greek" - our respect for it is next to infinite.

What's wrong with the claim that Earth is a flat disc
placed on 4 big elephants? Not true for the reality,
of course, but we can imagine a world where it holds...
A fine claim, and if if "it just happens not to
the geometry that describes the universe we live in"
- so what?
