Of course we can. Whether a proposal is logical and evidenced and fits the actual context or is off the wall poppycock doesn't really matter if you have one shelf available for all construction hypotheses and no budget or desire to seek evidence to support any such ideas.

I'd be interested in hearing this.

All we've found so far are drawings of "gods" and long "incantations". Why would you expect anything new to arise? While we're waiting for this treasure trove that you believe must have once existed wouldn't it make more sense to allow each peer to examine the actual evidence accumulated to date? Whose to say we lack the evidence to solve this until we find the blueprints? Who's to say what the evidence is while we are neither seeking more or even looking at what has been gathered to date?
Everybody is assuming that not only were the pyramid builders just like us and thought like us but that their "blueprints" for construction would look like ours. Maybe these assumptions are wrong. Maybe the builders' thinking was so alien to us that they are unlike anybody alive today. Maybe they used no "blueprints" or anything we could recognize as technical drawings. We still don't even understand their mathematics.
If our assumptions are wrong and we wait for the tomb of the "Overseer of the Keeper of Records for the Tomb of Khufu" we will NEVER understand the pyramid or its builders. We have a perfectly good science that could be applied to learning how these were built and speculation about ramp configurations is most assuredly not science at all no matter how many correctly solved equations are in it.
