BECAUSE IT DOES NOT DESCRIBE THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE TUNNEL AT ALL YOU 
IDIOT!

A tunnel and a pool gets a brief mention in 2 Kings 20 ;20 and a conduit is 
briefly mentioned Isaiah 1, 36;2 and there is even a brief reference to a 
conduit and an upper pool in 2 Kings 18;9- but none of those passages, 
describe any kind of construction at all.
There is no detail about how it was built, what materials were used, the 
type and amount of labor used - all of these things do not get mentioned at 
all.
That is the normal meaning of the word CONSTRUCTION
Certainly, a tunnel in roughly the same location exists today (and a couple 
of others in different locations too)- but the only passage that refers to 
Hezekiah is 2 Kings 20, and there is certainly not enough detail to confirm 
that the tunnel used today by tourists is the same one referred to in the 
bible
It's the first time I bothered to getting around to check the biblical 
claims you've been talking about- you've been exaggerating the significance 
of the  references to the tunnel, almost as if it described in detail about 
how the tunnel was built.
A significant and misleading use of the word, construction, I think.
Even so, what the hell does it matter?
ALL of the special claims in the bible are complete junk, and heavily 
mythologised.
What does it matter about your tunnel?
