The unfortunate empiricists modeled the motions of the Earth on RA/Dec so in their alternative solar system the Earth has a zero degree inclination and a pivoting circle of illumination off the Equator to suit their clockwork solar system and a descent into intellectual bankruptcy -

In the stable and reasonable intellectual environment, Lat/Long and the 24 hour system is modeled to a close proximity to the daily and annual motions of the Earth, first as a proportion and then as a daily average.

I marvel to see so many struggle against their better side but eventually the spiritual side breaks through, at east for most people and they go from frantic declarations to the ease of enjoying creation including themselves.
