First of all, the peak of a mountain is usually obscured by clouds, also objects which are closer to you may get in the way (trees, hills, buildings). That's how the visor on a hat works to keep the sun off of your brow.
Also, once again, you're making an assertion that can be proven. Like I said, Why don't we point a laser at the peak of Everest? Why don't we use various optics to see the peak of Everest from however far away? You're making perfectly good suggestions, my position is that we should try these things instead of accepting what we've been told to believe.
Is it possible to observe a full moon at midnight?
