5. From a "philosophy of science" point of view you are correct of course.
There are no right and wrong theories, only theories which have been ruled out with large likelihood empirically, and those who have been shown to be correct with large likelihood within their domain of applicability.
From a practical point of view however, "geocentrism is wrong" is just a much more concise way of saying "there is no recorded observation that favors geocentrism over heliocentrism" :P
Einstein was wrong when he set the cosmological constant to zero.
