Don't quite agree with you there Lubin (though I agree that Arthur Pendragon's 'blessing' was an unfortunate distraction to say the least). I think Mike Pitts et al were genuinely impressed by being in the 'restored' Stonehenge and it's perhaps stimulated new directions of research for them.
I would have loved to have been there myself - just to feel what it was like to be enveloped by that structure as it may have been some 4500 years ago. Not sure if it was new in academic circles but seeing what was probably the original colour of the sarsens (a very light pink) was a real revelation to me.
Polystyrene they may be but the C5 reconstruction gave many of us a picture of what Stonehenge may have once looked like - and for me that was a picture breathtaking in its beauty, stunning in its grandeur and even more worthy of research and respect.
