From the same site you linked to
"Indeed, there was in the mature pyramid structure considerable accuracy in their construction, which was needed to prevent the entire structure from tumbling down...."
I believe your line
"Indeed within the body of the pyramid there's a lot of marl/fill."
is simply an unknown. Assumptions can be made but short of total dismantlement there is no way of knowing one way or the other whether there was "a lot of fill" or just the ocassional fill. Perhaps there is massive fill and although this has also been suggested on the evidence of other pyramids having rubble between blocks, far lesser constructs have completely tumbled.
Khufu still stands.

No insult intended Warwick and I regret my humour wasn't taken in your stride. I just thought you may have had some evidence that in fact there was "a lot of marl/fill" I accept the explanation you have given for one particular instance of fill but I was hoping for more.
