One mountain two heights?

Deepak Narayanan
I recently read an article about the having 2 official heights for Mt.Everest.This is arisen due to diplomatic relations between countries that border with the mountain.I don't understand the relation between the height of the mountain and the ties b/w the countries.Strictly speaking a mountain is supposed to have only one height.Nature is always a contentious issue for states and at times b/w countries.But they must accept that nature is beyond the boundaries/borders.Nature will be beautiful when left in its natural form.We haven't had any problem till now with only one height for Mt.Everest.So why not leave it like that?

Wats your say?
