>By how much?

I'd say it's the only thing that matters. Yes, people haven't known that the Earth is moving for a long time, but for that time they've been absorbing another kind of knowledge about the world. Knowledge is growing wider and deeper constantly, and it doesn't matter if we don't know something at the moment, what matters, is the tendency to learn about the outer world, about the inner world, about reality in general. Existence eagers to cognize itself.
I believe, no matter what kind of knowledge one gets, it's about reality, even if one doesn't realize it. In that sense, I agree, that "important" sounds incorrect here.
