What is easily overlooked: actual bullet path stays the same with either scope height. However, what does change is the eye position or line of sight.
Moving this LOS up or down in relation to bullet path is what makes the trajectory "flatter".
It really is simple physics.
Your post took the mystery out of it. I did what you suggested with JBM. I couldn't cut out the rest, but if one looks at the first column after the yards, it shows what you said.
