Very true.... almost. Actually Copernicus believed the orbits were
circles.

The science of astronomy didn't advance without Kepler,

when more careful observations were made, and it cannot proceed
until Hulse and Taylor are officially debunked.
See "On the back of an envelope".

SR should have vanished with Sagnac, SR doesn't conform to
observation.

I accuse Einstein of the same crime Newton accused Ptolemy of,
and I accuse you along with him.

"The most recent accusations of forgery made against Ptolemy came from
Newton in [12]. He begins this book by stating clearly his views:-

This is the story of a scientific crime. ... I mean a crime committed by
a scientist against fellow scientists and scholars, a betrayal of the
ethics and integrity of his profession that has forever deprived mankind
of fundamental information about an important area of astronomy and
history.

Towards the end Newton, having claimed to prove every observation
claimed by Ptolemy in the Almagest was fabricated, writes [12]:-

[Ptolemy] developed certain astronomical theories and discovered that
they were not consistent with observation. Instead of abandoning the
theories, he deliberately fabricated observations from the theories so
that he could claim that the observations prove the validity of his
theories. In every scientific or scholarly setting known, this practice
is called fraud, and it is a crime against science and scholarship. "

Draper once said:
"I had high hopes -- really -- that perhaps one misguided soul would
read something sensible and say, "Oh... Really?...Oh. I see I was
confused. OK, I get it now. Now what about...?" My head knew better,
my heart does not.

The duck has shot Draper.
