It's particularly impressive that (for example) St. Pauls Cathedral was located N x 666 metres from so many places, when it was built about 100 years before the metre was introduced.

(I imagine this is merely an example of the Texas Sharpshooter fallacy).

Proving conclusively that the real magic number is on the order of 2185, right?

No, no, no! 42 is the answer to everything, it's not the magic number! (Actually the magic number is 2184 which, amazingly is 42 * 52 (and we all know what 52 is, right?) . )
