Because it was supported by observations.
Because it was based on right reasoning and observable corroboration. It was "gradual" because most people are not aware of the method used that has and is used to progress us both technologically and socially.
The Copernican Hypothesis is the hypothesis that the sun, rather than the earth, was at the centre of the universe. Copernicus theorised that the stars and planets, including the earth, revolved around a fixed sun. He worked on it from 1506-1530, but it wasn't published until the year of his death in 1543.
The critical realization that Earth is not at the center of the universe is now known as the Copernican Revolution. The idea that neither Earth nor Sun occupy a special place in the universe is known as the "Copernican Principle". This hypothesis is scientifically classified as a "Principle of Mediocrity".
You have answered this question for yourself. It was 'Nicolas Copernicus' , hencethe word 'copernican'.
Galileo

Some researchers say that a hypothesis test can have one of two outcomes: you accept the null hypothesis or you reject the null hypothesis. Many statisticians, however, take issue with the notion of "accepting the null hypothesis." Instead, they say: you reject the null hypothesis or you fail to reject the null hypothesis. Why the distinction between "acceptance" and "failure to reject?" Acceptance implies that the null hypothesis is true. Failure to reject implies that the data are not sufficiently persuasive for us to prefer the alternative hypothesis over the null hypothesis.
If you develop an experiment that truly demonstrates that the hypothesis is wrong*, then the hypothesis will lose its acceptance in the scientific community.* Such an experiment would have to be repeatable by other scientists AND accepted by interested scientists as a proof that the hypothesis is wrong.

Galileo supported the Copernican system, but Aristotle did not. The Copernican system was a belief that the sun was the center of the solar system.
A test of a statistical hypothesis is a two-action decision problem after the experimental sample values have been obtained, the two-actions being the acceptance or rejection of the hypothesis under consideration.
For blacks in the North, military service provided a route to gradual acceptance by whites who had previously rejected them.
