"We can assume that they were capable of measuring 440 cubits (if that was the intended distance) to within 1/4 of a cubit so this means 0.25 / 440 or about 99.96 degree accuracy or about 4 1/2 inches over 9068.8 "

how do you go from that assumption to assuming that they did not intend 440 cubits?
