"the whole point of moving a stone may have been to get as many people involved as possible, not to move it as efficiently as possible"

It's a possibility, but he's speculating from a speculative starting point, that big stones imply big numbers of people shifting them.

Post-Gordon Archaeology holds that his starting point may not be right!
It just shows, Gordon really has made a mark.

Who was it? Anyone famous?
