I can understand that, but it's kind of important, because otherwise... I don't know, suppose that you want to find the distance between people in a crowd. So you measure the distance to the next person, and then the next person, etc. You will get a valid measurement. But suppose you want to show somehow that 20 meters is the right distance. So you take a tape measure and measure out 20 meters. And miraculously, you find a person somewhere along that circle. And you measure out another 20 meters, and find a person. So you conclude that people are 20 meters apart from each other. You can do that, but the chances of people taking it seriously are not so good. That's why it's important. Because a person like me, who isn't opposed to the possibility you're suggesting, would think, "OK, you may find parallels, but you would find parallels no matter what number you choose". If you can't show that your number is somehow more accurate than other numbers, then there's no reason not to believe that parallels would be found with any number you choose. 800 years will reveal parallels as well. And so will 700.
