The analysis

The claim that mountain tops have lower gravity due to being further from the center of Earth's mass is a direct consequence of the inverse-square law of gravitation. As an elementary and universally accepted physical fact, it falls under the COMMON_KNOWLEDGE category per Step 0, requiring no citations.
