your correct, even the escort manual (and everywhere ive read online) says to put it up high...ive heard that the higher you put it up, the less chance you have to detect lidar (at least lidar from the rear), but the better chances you have to detect radar from all direction. mounting it low on the dash isnt as effectivce because it cant see out the rear of the car and it has more obstructions looking out the front of the car (other cars)...look at it this way, if ur eyes were at the level of the radar detector and it was mounted low on the dash, you couldnt see as well in front, back or to the sides of you right? but if it was mounted high, then you have a better perspective of traffic and everything else around you. you just have to figure out what type of radar (or lidar) the police use around where you drive and go from there. hope this helps
