How about you also copy the sentence that lies just between those two? "As land slowly settles to a new position over time, the damper neutral position can be adjusted accordingly." And if that doesn't work, the tube can have some kind of rails or just to roll over wheels on top of the pylons. (my own thoughts as non expert) Rocket engineers with advanced simulation tools[0] have been working on this for 5 months before releasing the paper. Do you really think they somehow missed this obvious issue?

So pretty much what I've said. The other quoted sentence refers to placement of pylons themselves.
