So, according to Einstein, geocentrism is not so much a matter of "right" or "wrong," but a point of view based upon a CS or coordinate system, and, according to him, the debate was rendered moot by General Relativity.

Geocentrism claims that earth is a preferred frame of reference of one reason or another when in fact it is anything but. Even in general relativity, a non-rotating inertial reference frame can be considered preferred because it is the only one in which the laws of physics can be described without explicitly referencing distant masses.

Exactly.

Which is why the claim that the Earth is at the centre of the universe, is bull.

You’d have to do a whole circus of academic gymnastics, to account for all physical phenomena, to support that view.

I’ve seen multiple references and articles over the past few years, regarding a cosmological model attributed to astrophysicist Dr. George Ellis, of a semi-geocentric universe containing a naked singularity as a recycling mechanism, a model that does not require mysterious “dark matter,” messierhunter. It would seem your objections are not entirely valid.
