What's wrong with that? Epicycles are a good testable model. They were discarded when a better one was developed.

Well that's really all that is wrong with it: you are adding epicycles instead of working on a better theory. In analogy: once a language is turing complete you can do anything in it, so you can keep using brainfuck to make a gui, but probably it would be easier in java...

What's wrong is that you're trying to make a round peg fit a square role.

The problem was not that it was discarded, but what happened between new data and getting discarded and how long it took.

You don't want Epicycles because theories should be "simple" and Epicycles are added exceptions
