[TowerTalk] Tower design question

[K4SAV]

I thought this was an interesting question, but no one tackled it except 
for one guy who said that's the way it's done.  So is that really the 
reason?

With all the discussion and problems with tower leg corrosion, filling with water and splitting, etc. Why do almost ALL the manufacturers design the joints to telescope inside from above which leaves water able to run inside joints and fill tubes? Why not simply invert the connection by telescoping over the bottom section so water just runs outside not through the joint. I know there is no difference in joint strength or assembly difficulty, so why?
