You may have read it, but you obviously haven't understood it.
Maybe your doctorate is not a scientific one?

You insist on looking at the Tycho catalogue in which "the
standard errors of the parallaxes are in most cases much larger than the
parallaxes themselves", rather than the much more accurate Hipparcos
catalogue, which my brother showed me today.
Even then you don't understand that he has proved that the data
supports heliocentrism. "There is a preponderance of positive values at a
level of significance corresponding to 67 standard deviations.
I don't expect you've even bothered to look at figures 3.2.7 and
3.2.8!
