Is it possible that he was about to say "tallest to the roof" ? That might explain why he launched into the convoluted explanation about how AT&T achieved its height.
In any case, even if 505 CST was, say, under 600' to roof, it would still appear as the dominant tower on the skyline.

That's what I'm thinking. The elevation of downtown changes a lot. 505 Church Street's elevation is 505 ft. the AT&T Tower's is 450 (according to Google Earth). Technically AT&T would be the tallest, but 505 would look to be the tallest.
