First definition, just in case it still isn't obvious.

Ah, I see the confusion now. It is you that actually does not know what the word means or how it was used in this context. Several hundred other people seemed to have avoided this confusion though, and you still haven’t said how it was used wrong, so I can safely dismiss you as a troll. hint: it was once axiomatic that the sun revolved around the earth. Hope that helps!
