One thing I notice almost every time I see logs of people doing caches and nearby trigs, or YOSM, is everyone always has the urge to climb on it. Why?

Let me just say that I see trig points as (very young) heritage and think they should be preserved rather sooner then later.

Hence I seriously do not get the 'must stand/lay/do xyz' on top of the trigs.
Mayybe I'm just odd, dunno
