Perhaps you would care to share your methodology George, in the interests of balance and all that. How would you know where the horizon is in Cornwall?

The methodology is very simple and understood by anyone who knows anything about astronomy . I wouldn't have a problem going over it ,and have done so often enough in the past . But seeing as you are being less than forthcoming I don't see why I should bother . The info is freely available in the literature and on the web .
Here's a basic starter .
The horizon in Cornwall ,like anywhere depends where you are, in this case where in Cornwall, (men an tol ) and in what direction you are looking .

I think Men an Tol is one of the worst sites in Penwith to get into an argument over. The altitude of its horizons is quite extreme, its shape and size in its original form as a stone circle is not clear, neither is the location of its centre.

I suggest suspension of the terms 'right' and 'wrong' too. Sorry, but reality isn't a simple binary equation.

To quote Bertrand Russell: "War is not about who is right, it's about who is left". Decisions based on who is left are not always the best decisions.
