I agree its not a flash light . Buts thats how many FE present the sun's cycle
A maglight gives an omni direction source of light like a candle if you remove the bezel
No , some people might use a flashlight to give a basic idea but then people like you take it as some biblical truth, it about as ridiculous as claiming Nasa uses a flashlight sun cause they only drew a portion of the rays
A maglight is a flashlight - so it is unidirectional - if you did something to make it omni directional it was still too powerful
plus you didn't take all those other factors into account, plus i dont think you can model perspective - it really only works with huge distances so trying to make it work on a 1 foot model is impossible.

Like this dude
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5z5-9RAZbKEFor experimental purposes, a maglight gives an omni direction source of light like a candle if you remove the bezel
D Marble is just grabbing stuff in his van to illustrate the effect - not model it perfectly
If you really want to understand how the sun works in the AE Azimuthal Map, then you actually need to do some homework and you cant get around that fact
