> Sky is always brighter than the land, moon is not required.

Speaking of things being wrong...how can you come to this conclusion? There are many beaches where turtle hatchlings get confused by all of the lights on land where they crawl away from the ocean instead of towards it. Land is so bright, that the vast majority of humans can no longer see the night sky. So again I ask, how do you come to the conclusion that land is darker than the sky?

I think the missing part is "in the absence of artificial light".
In "the absence of artificial light", please explain how land will be brighter than the sky
It wouldn't, that's his point.
