"Special pleading" in this case is that we should ignore the water catchment devices around the pyramids, the water tight stones at the bases of the pyramids, the causeways, water erosion in canals leading away from the pyramids, and the literal meaning of what the builders actually said because Egyptology says the only technology they had available was to drag stones up inclined planes. We are also supposed to ignore that there is no evidence for any sort of any ramp leading up onto a great pyramid or that there were any workers with jobs associated with ramps or dragging stones.
All the special pleading has already been used up and you've left none for the alts.
