a 5% farther orbit and there's no total solar eclipse
5% further orbit and there's still an eclipse. ... Jupiter has 5 different (known) moons in position to create eclipses. ... Saturn has 7 known moons that eclipse .. Uranus has 12 moons that cause eclipses. ... eclipses are EXCEPTIONALLY common
Now write out your whole explanation again and explain how there are always total solar eclipses.
But you can't, because if you stuck to the argument you'd lose because of "basic physics" as you put it.
An object has to be large enough and close enough in order to create a shadow that totally blacks out the sun. The moon is very near that point that separates eclipses (which as you point out are common) from total eclipses.
Everything you say is easily provably false.
Actually it's only everything you falsely believe I said is provably false. Garbage in, garbage out.
