It's more like people don't notice what goes on that high. You can't count
on someone seeing a menorah > 20 amos above the ground, or when you sit in
your sukkah, pay attention to similarly high sekhakh.

But here it's kind of different. Someone is executed; people are told to go
look. The height is to maximize how many people see the execution's results
first hand. Not for them to notice the body and thereby learn about the
execution.

Efshar?
