Oh yeah! That's probably it. It would be a very impressive piece of personal growth if he could just say it, about this specific example of the well-documented building. I'd regrow some respect for him if he could manage it. He doesn't have to also concede the Tower of Babel is untrue, although perhaps his entire rationalisation for why he believes it rests on this case.
I think it's like when a gang is fighting another gang, and they've forgotten what it was about in the first place, but they just keep on fighting regardless.

I wouldn't hold my breath. He's had plenty of opportunity. Personally, I'm adding this to the long line of stupid shit he's stood on. I'm cursed/blessed with a long memory.
His worldview is full on batshit crazy. This doesn't even register as a blip on that radar.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Of course they aren't. But what IS the same thing is being presented with evidence over and over and over and refusing to let go of your erroneous fantasy.

No.
How a single man move a 30 ton stone in the course of a night.
Also engineers that repaired the door after the bearing rusted, can't get it to work properly. Since you apparently know, go ahead and explain that too.

The biggest stone he's moved is 10 tons shown in the pic below

Now Kemikal claims that Ed Leedskalnin, loaded a stone 3 times the weight, (not to mention the fact that coral stone isn't as dense so it's even more massive), using some rails, and put it on the chassis of a republic truck and towed it 10 miles.
Look at the size of the stone in the above picture add two more stones of that same size, which makes 30 tons and picture it on the back of this:

Yet another day of Huggy punching himself in the dick. What are my claims supposed to have to do with anything when you just watched a video of the man lifting and rolling stones? When you have pictures? When you have the history of the attraction. When you have the tools still on site. When you have such an exacting amount of detail that you even know the make of the chassis converted and how long the move took...even the road taken?
Is it so important for you to argue..with me...that you'll argue about this? You threw a fucking hissyfit, got everything you wanted, and now you're throwing another. Do you imagine that it's going to end differently this time?

I find it really weird, as usual. If it was proved somehow that the story really happened, it just establishes Yahweh as a total cunt. As usual.
No dummy, my point was that know one knows how it happened...

Second of all look up Coral Castle.
The guy who single-handedly built that (which required cutting, moving and erecting stone up to 30 tons form a quarry 10 miles away overnight) claimed he used the same technology used in building the pyramids.
I haven't claimed anything other than it is unknown how the pyramids were built, and that it was Ed leedskalnin's claim that he used the same technology that built the pyramids.
But you and khemikal go ahead and keep misrepresenting my position, as if i claimed something I didn't.
However it was khemikals claim there was footage of Ed moving the stone from the quarry, which is a lie...

Huggy, there are photos...and even a film..of how he moved the blocks. They're right there, on display, at the attraction..and easily found online. You're asking me to explain a mystery that isn't mysterious.

Huggy....he's moving stone from one of his quarries on the video..in broad daylight..in front of the crowds at the attraction..in the film we have of him working.......which you have seen.
Right? You watched the film you threw a fit to get..didn't you?
