Lol yes, it is totally silly to think of putting a supertall litterally on top of a train station two blocks off Michigan Avenue on the main E-W thouroughfare on the north side of downtown.
Hint: it doesn't matter how tall the nearby buildings are if the site is prime enough and endowed with the correct infrastructure.
That said, most Chicago developers, JDL included, don't have the balls to develop this site to it's full potential. Wayyyy too much land in one bite so we will end up with another Block 37 or, at best, a mini River South type development.
Clearly this should be banned:

Can we just automatically ban anyone who suggests such things on here from now on? It seems like the absurd "this area shouldn't have a super tall building because the neighboring buildings are shorter" comment surfaces once a month.
