> Anybody who's seen the sun rising east and setting west knows that this is true: the Sun rotates around the Earth.
Just small remarks: technically it's not East and West, it changes.
Well, according to the basic physics laws: also yes. Yes because it depends on the observer. No, because it depends on the observer. The Copernicus book was about a theoretical model of an observer outside the planetary system (he didn't even claim that it was true "it was just a theory" - that's why he had no problems with the funny Catholic guys who burnt people for less).
But back to the point: both claims a true: Sun travels in space around Earth... and at the same time Earth does the same around Sun. All depends on the observer.
technically I only talked about a subset of people :)

This gets metaphysical. If the observer's viewpoint is all that matters, the earth is flat (maybe not for you, but for me, and by definition you can't argue with me on that!). An argument that "I find software to be crap" is completely uninteresting and not worth engaging. If that's the only thing he meant... yeah, sure, more power to him, for all I care he may find all news to be fake too.

Maybe with the software it's the same?
