[TowerTalk] torque arms or not?

>  In recent years, I have seen the suggestion that using the  torque arms 
eliminates the possibility that the guy wires could "chew" their  way 
through the tower bracing or legs. I could imagine this happening over a  
period of years as the twisting of the tower causes abrasion of the  
tower by the guy wire. I have never heard of this actually  happening.
