The Matterhorn is missing its entire peak

The placemark view is the most common view of the Matterhorn, from the town of Zermatt (actually about 1 km above it). The red X icon is at the correct peak altitude, 4478 m absolute, and the extruded polygons portray the size and shape of the four-sided pyramidal peak. It is amazing (and disappointing) to see how much of the mountain is missing. In a previous post mcshea98 explained how it can occur. Seems to me that this database badly needs improving. Could one of the GE experts tell us if this is likely? Here is the real thing.
