To be equally pedantic, there is a historic practice of attaching spires to skyscrapers in order to claim this record within a city/country/etc

Yes but the person placing the spire doesn't claim to have built the largest skyscraper unless they also built the rest of the skyscraper.

Well, maybe they do on their resume.

I'm not sure this is in touch with reality, there are plenty of examples of companies who only poured the foundations of such buildings bragging about the entire thing.

That's kinda like I said, maybe on their resume.
