I understand what you mean.  With me, the fact is I know little about
Newton's theories.  But I do seem to have a consistent distaste for
projects aimed at understanding astronomy which justify themselves as
being based on those theories.  Knowing tha the earth is flat was good
enough for our ancestors and by damn, it's good enough for us.
