Hello Origyptian:
The operative Topic is the ”the practicality of ‘removing and replacing’ the “Granite Plugs””. As stated, moving said “Plugs”, weighing in the neighborhood of seven (7) tons each (in addition to the possibility of needing to maneuver an unknown number of limestone plugs), would be most “problematic”; especially given the confines of an approximately 12 square foot shaft opening within the mass of the Great Pyramid.

An assumption on your part; the existence, or non existence, of a ”prism stone” is irrelevant pursuant to the “operative Topic”.
