Well, the Americans would get just as confused. I mean, first you have the Earth revolving around America, and then what do you have revolving around the Earth?
What, oh yeah, the moon. Right, so Earth around America and moon around Earth.
Repeat after me: correlation does not imply causation.
I'm a Dane; we're right up there. But I don't think there's any cause relationship here. Instead, it's more likely attributable to a deeper and more fundamental and more complex set of factors.
