Well, in this thread we have shown that anyone, with minimal effort and a basic understanding of perspective, can see first-hand that the moon really is lined up with the sun using a piece of string,rake handle, or any manner of straight hand-held objects. Or see the exact same "but it doesn't seem lined up" effect using a building's roofline, railroad tracks, hallway, living room ceiling, or other straight line.
I guess that about covers it.
