I'm not sure even that works. Some card has to be on top of the deck.

For a coincident to act as an alert to a new understanding it needs to go against some framework expectation. The Jack of Spades appearing as the top card in the only deck that we gave to Jack Shovel does nothing for my sense of wonder.

The moon covering 'exactly' :-) all the sun, one half of the sun, or double the sun, or 1/pi of the sun or all the sun except an area the size of pluto, or ...
None of those violate any postion/size of the moon expectations and so stir no 'hmmmmmmm....' moments.
