Jokes aside : being right for the wrong reasons is being wrong

Unjustified true belief
Thanks for the read !
It's not wrong. The "common center" lies inside the Sun.
Therefore, the Sun orbits itself and the Earth orbits the Sun.
The Man-in-the-middle's statement is akin to the following :
2 = 3 thus, by multiplying both sides by 0, we get 0 = 0, which is true !
He said it's in the middle because 2 people disagreed, and he states that the truth lies always in she middle in these situations. which is false, exactly as false as 2 = 3
If we’re strict, being right is always being right. If we’re not strict, wouldn’t that imply that being wrong “for the right reasons” is being right?
