Of course it could be that you are correct and thousands of
professional and amateur astronomers are wrong.

Here is a case of so-called irreducable complexity,remove or alter any
part of the 'sidereal time' justification and the whoile thing
disintegrates -

Pick whatever one you like - The natural noon cycle is not 24 hours
exactly for one,there is no constant orbital motion for another but by
then it becomes a matter of demonstrating that the 'sidereal
framework' is a bogus construction and hardly the thinking of
reasonable individuals

The mistake in the diagram you point out can be corrected without "the
whole thing disintegrating".
