Apparently it's not as clear as you say it is, because it took science to disprove the geocentric theory, which was considered to be 'common sense'. If you look up at the sky you have no reason to not believe that the moon, the sun and stas don't revolve around the earth, as you can see them 'move' across the sky.

Common sense is about recognizing systems in nature and then basing projections on the understanding of those systems.

No, not it's not. We call that logical/abstract thought (aka, science). Common sense is using one of your five senses-- Usually sight-- To derive a 'common truth' about the universe.
