Besides, how would you know the distance from Mike to the top of the tree? Could you just measure the freaking tree if you were going to go through all that trouble?

less than 51 feet, greater than 41 feet. That's all there is to say for the tree's height

Well, scientists performing biological surveys, silviculturists, people in the lumber industry, gardeners. There are plenty of people who need to need to measure trees and measuring along the ground is easier than measuring vertical distances.
