I am in agreement with y'all.
In particular with you observation that this is a different class of "impossible figures."
Though I can also understand the counter-argument, that one can also construct objects which from a privileged perspective also "technically" are possible solutions for such figures.
I believe the (compelling) counter-counter-argument is that such solutions are AFAIK unique to privileged perspectives, but in this case, there is a whole set of such perspectives. You can rotate the thing through quite a range and still assert you're looking at an impossible pyramid.
Adding a single edge to defeat the premise that it's a "pyramid" is I suspect a formalizable distinction which reduces the impossibility (as others have said) to whether you want to hinge all on the word "pyramid."
