No, it wasn’t. There are some actual books on the subject which try to create plausible mathematical models on a geocentric universe with the Michelson-Morley experiments as evidence.

I thought for a moment you might have thought that what I said about alternatively considering yourself at rest and the distance you’re yet to travel moving towards you was a bit off.

In any case, it is true for systems in a state of uniform/constant motion (inertial reference frames), that one cannot tell the difference (in a sealed environment) whether they are at rest or moving at a constant rate of speed and a constant direction.
