I think that shows how much he values the opinion of others, and the attention he pays to what he is told. In most resects I value his opinion. He is clearly an educated and dedicated man. But taking a contrary stance just to prove he knows more than everyone is helpful to no one.
There are other sites where it is mentioned that the stone is visible from 4km away but like you they don't say where that was . I am far from educated and am not taking a contrary stance for the sake of it ,ask other archaeoastronomers in Ireland eg Frank Prendergrast and they will tell the same thing .
