Well do you know exactly visual perspective from the tower?
Stop doing that RON you'll give yourself a headache.

It is already a fact the crew made a mistake, however sometimes someone else can stop the holes lining up. If the tower can see the runway, an aircraft lined up incorrectly will look wrong to the controller. It certainly isn't the controllers fault, and indeed many controllers have saved crews bacon in the past.
