I know I've pointed that out at some point when describing my conversion of
these components into my revised Castle Wall Compontent system, though I'm
uncertain if I am an original poster of this inadequacy.

Essentially, all the castle wall components that TLC produced to "go
together" have problems. Yes, they are interesting, and have some nice
building points to them, but to me they are flawed. For one, they are too
short. A minifig on horseback could scale the walls of any structure you put
together from these pieces. If you aren't careful, one or more pieces will
fall over as you adjust placement of each; the one connection point is very
flimsy. The walk ways are not wide enough... I could go on, but I chose to
do "something" about it and just made my own better designed pieces. I
suggest that Thomas do the same.
