It is easy science and engineering to make the tower base infinitely large,
the cable permanently greasy, the ground plane perfectly conductive, and the
guy anchors infinitely stout.  The real work comes in deciding how much
large, greasy, conductive, and stout you can get for a buck and stay within
the desired safety and performance parameters.

There lies the real rub.
