Is this analysis wrong?
http://wiki.contesting.com/index.php/Guyed_tower_study

If so, where?

It's a 45g analysis. I would think that means 25g sees more deflection 
at the top.

I didn't understand people talking about 1" deflections.

What are the typical worse case deflections 100' 25g towers see in bad 
conditions? (at the top say, given whatever guy conditions you like?)

I guess the analysis above doesn't address dynamic oscillations or 
torsion issues.

Assuming you don't have enough damping, it would seem flexing is good 
(so stress isn't transmitted to the base?)
