much better, still 12 meters are a lot, if you think about standing in
front of an 8 meters high object, that's already pretty monumental.

That's why I added "or so". We can also add a practical hint, which is BTW the real meaning and could be a definition for this flawed type:

"Hint: if one can't tell it's 'monumental', then it should be tagged as historic=memorial."

Our current object categorization is sometimes a disaster and I hope one day we'll fix it from the ground up. Then the monument (which by definition is a memorial!) would be just an option, not an object in itself, for example:

object=memorial (not even historic, because it may be built nowadays - let's get rid of those compulsive categories!)
memorial=obelisk (just the shape type)
war_memorial=yes (to not mix detailed purpose with shapes)
monument=yes
