I came up with my own thing, and hopefully it works. PsyDAG, you were no help.
Aristotle and Ptolemy's geocentric models of the solar system were accepted for more than a thousand years in spite of being completely incorrect. This was because it was a major contribution then, and at the time people really didn't know any better. They believed this to be true, as it seemed Aristotle and Ptolemy both knew how the solar system worked, and people couldn't back up proof of what they came up with because they weren't able to see the actual solar system itself.
