iSm... you can "balderdash" me all you like, but the truth of the matter is that the Indy series (and especially the first two) are a series of setpieces strung together... in fact, several setpieces were written for the first movie (the raft, the mine car) and were ditched for time and budget constraints, and were put into the second movie. The actual plot came second.

... and as a Hitchcock fan, I dispute your use of "macguffin" - I think the Ark, the Stone and the Grail all serve a purpose other than to move the story along...

I see your Balderdash and raise you a Shenanigans.
