Do you place your telescope at the top of the mountain with boulders falling away from it in all directions or at the bottom of a crater with boulders falling towards it from all directions?
>Although the L4 and L5 points are found at the top of a "hill", as in the effective potential contour plot above, they are nonetheless stable. The reason for the stability is a second-order effect: as a body moves away from the exact Lagrange position, Coriolis acceleration (which depends on the velocity of an orbiting object and cannot be modeled as a contour map)[20] curves the trajectory into a path around (rather than away from) the point.[20][22] Because the source of stability is the Coriolis force, the resulting orbits can be stable, but generally are not planar, but "three-dimensional": they lie on a warped surface intersecting the ecliptic plane. The kidney-shaped orbits typically shown nested around L4 and L5 are the projections of the orbits on a plane (e.g. the ecliptic) and not the full 3-D orbits.
People don't choose adversity, they only like to dispense it.
Simulation is fun, it's a safe way of exploring danger.
However the hazards up on hills are more typically those of exposure, altitude and isolation, not incoming gravitationally-propelled objects.
