Drama around a dying tree at Jamaica Pond

Boston Park Rangers have had enough - on April 15, they covered the fourth such notebook with a bolded plea to knock it off already:
Inside that notebook, a theological war has broken out, alongside some sort of math work:

mostly dead vs totally dead
trees are wildly resilient.
my 90+ neighbor had a large tree fall in his front yard a few years ago. missed the house, no damage there, but it was only connected to the stump by a small section of wood fibers (maybe 5% of the tree's circumference).
the tree continued to sprout leaves for 2 years before it finally died for good last summer.
