Except that any two gravitational bodies orbit a common center…
The Earth orbiting the Sun causes the sun to wobble slightly, moving its orbital center away from its center of mass, which means the sun and earth actually orbit a common center point no?
Even if that center point is within the other body it still isn’t the center of that body, therefore they both orbit a shared gravitational center that is not the center of either body.
Just because you believe that a negligible effect means that it shouldn’t be called orbiting doesn’t change the fact of the matter that there is still a shared gravitational center that both bodies orbit around…
It doesn’t matter if it’s negligible or not, the fact of the matter is that such a point exists and both bodies orbit around that point.
