A heliocentric model isn't necessary for solar eclipse explanation.
"The moon and the sun revolve around the Earth, the moon is closer, and sometimes it is interposed between the sun and the Earth" is a story that works if the coordinate frame is Earth-centric or sun-centric.
(I know this wasn't the point of this comment, but identifying the problem while missing key details that end up mattering in the long run is, arguably, where Leninism falls down as effective political philosophy, so it seemed relevant. Lenin identified the problem of class consolidation, but attempts to reconcile it just moved the class barriers around instead of breaking them).

But the issue still remains that you have to admit the root cause even exists before you can think about how to solve it. I will edit my parent comment to remove the heliocentric example.
