No, Warwick. The angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence. We are discussing a uniform "reflective" surface on a pyramidion, unlike random surfaces on a mountainside. The reflection of the light would be upward, not downward. Yes, the top would be illuminated..but it would not be a shockingly bright reflection. Anything that bright would only be visible from above.
