I'm not saying i have any opinion either way although i cant see how the FET can explain the southern celestial pole. when looking at the sky in the northern hemisphere the stars all seem to spin around the northern celestial pole, a point which by luck is very close to polaris, a very bright star, the FET explains this. However in the southern hemisphere where polaris and the northern celestial pole as well as much of the stars in the northern hemisphere depending how far south you go are no longer visible there's all new stars that appear to spin around a point known as the southern celestial pole. This unfortunately has no bright, close by stars but people have invented tricks to estimating it quite easily such as using the intersection of a line running through two of the stars in the constellation of southern cross and a line drawn perpendicular to two stars known as the southern pointers running in-between them.
