Is there an automatic assumption

That seems to be the case...most of the officials i worked with in FL and
here in KH6 seem to think that towers fall over at the base sideways. A
hundred foot tower falls over 100 feet. Yet, just about every tower failure
I've
ever seen as a result of hurricanes or seen posts of on the internet that did
not happen.
It's hard.....and expensive to argue with ignorance down at city hall.
