Thank you Conan and Anne for inserting some knowledge into what has become a bit of a myth about the superiority of the heliocentric model. I would only add that in the end Copernicus was also forced to add epicycles into his model in order to achieve the level of accuracy that Ptolemy had. The Copernican model, in truth, was simpler at the cost of accuracy -- hardly a good model for science, really. I'm not sure why people think they can pull good lessons from bad history.
