My view is that this too is based on confusion. There is no hierarchy of knowledge. Knowledge is true or false. In the 18th century, British and French physicists argued over whether the earth was perfectly spherical or flattened at the poles or the equator. There were two theories, and hence a conflict. What was done? They didn't just say that according to British knowledge it was oblate and according to French knowledge it was prolate. They sent a team of researchers to the poles to measure the meridians. The conclusion was that the English were right, and that the Earth bulges somewhat at the equator because its rotation generates centrifugal force.
When I taught physics at the CEGEP level, I explained to my students that the Earth's rotation generated centrifugal force. This is universal knowledge. It was discovered by Newton, but the fact that he was British is not important. It could have been discovered by a Chinese person. We have to stop messing with the hierarchy. Knowledge is true or false, but not Chinese. Thinking otherwise can lead to serious issues.
