polar alignment question

hi all,

i've just gone ahead and attempted to align my EQ2 mount, but i was wondering, what is the point of it? I know it's so you can track along the R.A but what does angle of the scope have too do with it?

if your going to observe an object that is lower towards the horizon, doesn't that defeat the purpose of polar alignment because you've changed the angle of the scope?

I hope this makes sense

I'm also having trouble polar aligning lol
