"The sun is the center of the solar system" is a conceptual solution and was

And when it was, the "conceptual solution" was shown to be in error.
The center of the solar system is a point about which the mass of the
sun AND the planets all turn. The difference is miniscule but such
differences being ignored would result in navigational errors in
traversing the solar system - which is Roy's point about the
significance of error being ignored where it is important.
