Lookout Points-Part 2

Coming back to my post on look out points (click here to read the original post), I started to question if a lookout point has to be elevated?

Could you not be standing at street level and still seeing a number of different points in the surrounding area? (in particular you would see points they are more elevated that where you are) Would this be considered a lookout point though?

Personally I say yes it is still a lookout point, but what you are observing is only a small area in comparison to what you would see if you were much more elevated.
