Sometimes, when our measurements differ from what we can explain with our understanding of the universe, that's because we didn't understand the universe properly. If you put the Sun in the middle, your model of the solar system is still weird nonsense with planets on their circular orbits needing to swing backwards or accelerate forwards for no reason - until you make the orbits ellipses instead and then it's almost like fucking clockwork.

But sometimes, you were just right, and the measurements were off a bit, and there was no real physical phenomenon, you were just bad at measuring.

So, maybe sometimes the human heart does actually stop, yet it can successfully be restarted and then carry on as normal, and the circumstances where this is true are just fairly uncommon and when people are peering very carefully at the results they never ran into one of these rare cases. I cannot rule that out.
