The gist of the equidistance theory seems to be that the monuments are equidistant in real terms (i.e. as the crow hops, from above, measured on a map, etc) rather than what you would get from simply taking a length of twine to an uneven location and laying it out or holding it taut between the sites, as this would make them not equidistant when surveyed and measured on a map.
That's it , it's not in the real world it's in the armchair world of map gazers and measurers .A 300m rope even in the BA is possible but why should such a concept , equidistance , have any importance to a culture that wouldn't have had maps as we know know them and where are all the other examples apart from those you might expect from chance , or have I just discovered that mapping and equidistance was done even earlier in the Neolithic ? e.g see Torrylinn example (not serious ) . I doubt that they were that daft . "I know it's on a precipitous ledge but it says 310 smoots in the manual "
