We appreciate the pedantry.

I think I came up with that name from a game of telephone of sources claiming to have the longest line of sight. There's a lot of really random sources on the Internet that mention the line of sight but do not cite the data or analysis. I have seen Hindu Tagh thrown around as well so if it's more accurate we want it there.

Part of our motivations were to stop the game of telephone and become an authoritative source on this stuff.

I'm not much of a geographer, more of a HPC guy.

I have this on the TODO list to update tomorrow.
