After careful thought you could do it using two known points but it wouldn't be as efficient as using the ALIGN command. And yes, you could indeed do it and verify the two point locations as long as you perform all three of these commands during the process:

  1. ROTATE objects
  2. SCALE objects
  3. Physically MOVE objects

Using the ALIGN command, however, would perform all three simultaneously.

 

Here's a youtube VIDEO that shows how the align command works when combined with known points. The presenter uses two known circle locations instead of two known coordinate points. He could have easily used two pairs of coordinates had they been available, but since none were, he substituted with circles. He also used an aerial photo but he could have used a group of parcel boundaries as well. The video clearly demonstrates the efficiency and effectiveness of the align command. Even though it appears that rotation wasn't needed, the align command insures that if one was required that it would have been performed and not ignored. For verification, he used a visual inspection as opposed to a checking coordinates. If more than two points were used to position the aerial photo and if coordinated values were used instead of circles, then it's likely the accuracy of the ALIGN would have been even better.
