We're doing our best with the data available.
Here we have another example of EXCUSES, which these human beings, back in the days when this was being written, would quite frequently USE.
"We're doing our best', or, "We can only do our best", were very common EXCUSES USED, back in those 'olden days'.
What these people had not yet worked out and did not yet realize was that if they were, supposedly, doing their 'best', then they could not do any 'better'. Which, really, was just an EXCUSE for not even trying to do any better, and thus staying STUCK where they were.
Now, we all have the same 'data' here. So, why do you 'imagine' that 'we' have come to different conclusions, from 'you'?
I am pretty sure the ones who believed and insisted that the sun revolves around the earth also believed that they were 'doing their best with the data available' as well.
Also, if you remember when we had the same 'data' regarding the earth relative to the sun, then what do you imagine led to the difference in conclusions there?

Here we have an example of why these humans beings were so slow. 'Beliefs' and ' hypotheses' slowed them down tremendously. These things were preventing them from learning, and from understanding, what thee ACTUAL Truth IS, EXACTLY,

Something is the absolute truth, but it is empirically indistinguishable from any number of theories that explain the universe equally well.
AND, as I have been continually EXPLAINING, making these assumptions or theories only slow and prevent 'you', human beings, from seeing and recognising the ACTUAL Truth. Which, by the way, is very distinguishable from those Wrong and Incorrect theories that obviously do NOT explain the Universe that well AT ALL.

But I would NEVER claim such an ABSURD thing as this. So, what you say here is moot.
