I do not believe you have presented an accurate comparison, my friend. I understand there may be some satire in your words, but I don't really understand.
An accurate comparison would be if ancient writings about this teapot existed, writing about real places and real people, and these writings made claims that the teapot existed. The collections of writings would not have been written by some committee somewhere, or group of people, but a simple collection of letters written by different people claiming to be eye-witnesses to the teapot, all at different times, all corroborating the same story. Not only would these writings make outrageous claims, (like a teapot orbiting jupiter) but there would have to be hundreds of times as many more of these ancient manuscripts describing said teapot as there are describing mainstream, accepted as true historical characters and events. An entire demographic of the world would form an ideology around the testimonies of the teapot, corroborating the ideology with subjective personal experiences. And despite thousands of years of time, the same writings would remain unchanged, claiming the same things, making the same challenges.
Then and only then would that be an accurate comparison.
As you wish. In that case we would note that:
* Copying something out lots of times doesn't make it any truer.
* Lots of people believing a thing doesn't make it any truer.
* If you write down anything no matter how false, the thing you've written won't change, because no document spontaneously rewrites itself.
And then we would ask if there's any actual evidence for a teapot orbiting Jupiter.
