Sight Alignment refers to the relationship between the front sight and the rear sight. Nothing else. You can have a “perfect” alignment without being “aimed” at anything.
Sight Alignment should really be a function of your body index.
Sight Picture refers to the relationship between the Sight Alignment and the target.
Sight Alignment is significantly more important since any errors in sight alignment have a multiplicative effect on the target, i.e., a little error in the sight alignment will translate into a significantly bigger error on the target.
If the sight picture is not perfect, but the sight alignment is, any error will manifest itself linearly on the target.
