The truth is that there is no 'observed fact' uniquely supporting heliocentrism

Wrong.

There are a number of observations that show we live in a heliocentric solar system. Why do you think "Siderial" is different than "Mean Solar"?

Please explain why you think the the difference between 'sidereal' and 'mean solar' uniquely supports heliocentrism?

OF course; that's why it was believed to be this way for so long.

Only when more ACCURATE data was able to be discovered, then the old was replaced with the newer.
