This is more like if you measured altitude by counting from sea level vs the center of the earth vs the top of Mount Everest or something

Vs low tide vs high tide vs tidal average...

I think there are 4 different "tallest mountains on earth" depending on if you are measuring from sea level, how you are measuring sea level, or if you are measuring from the base and the mountain and how you are defining the base of the mountain.
