Even if the boulders were identical if one was "aligned" it would be taken by some as "an alignment". Alignments are evidence of intentionality. ;) And that’s the next problem , it’s one thing to point that the sun or moon doesn’t set or rise over a peak or in gap ,but the “aligners “ could never be convinced that their boulder , among countless others , isn’t somehow special because it is on the same bearing as the “alignment “ . That there is little reason ,or precedent for setting an unsighted “marker” at the spot , and in many upland areas it would be more difficult to find boulders that are not on the alignment , won’t deter either . When you consider how the “it must be aligned to that hill top/ col “ thinking still persists despite the simple numerous obvious refutations over the years , the “boulder marker “ will take for ever to be rid of .
