It's their sophist behaviour that leads to such discussion. Except in
the case of DSK who really thinks most rigid vangs can act like powerful
crane booms. But then what should one expect from a concrete pad pouring
"engineer".

I never claimed impossible..... but I may have utilized poetic license to
present an arguable counter-point.....
My point still being that a topping lift can carry a greater load than a
