Success in astronomical matters comes from growing into new insights as much as growing out of older and deficient perspectives but there will always be those who are dead to anything beyond what they were taught in school.

There is a way celestial sphere predicting can exist along with the use of the transition of the stars from an evening to morning appearance as a means to demonstrate the Earth orbits the Sun. The latter allows planetary traits to be anchored in the central Sun like the rotation for the 24 hour day/night cycle and the rotations behind the seasons whereas the former only registers what is moving relative to what without physical considerations.

It means axial precession has to give way as a concept so that the surface rotation as a function of the orbital motion of the Earth (parallel to the orbital plane) can be isolated with imaging of our planet and the other planets supporting this process. It is a huge undertaking so it would be better if people just got on with the endeavor than dithering around with awkward or absurd notions.
