I think that the inference was that a more thorough\experienced arboriculturalist will be able to present the facts in a way that compels the LA to pay attention.

Precisely: writing that a tree is dangerous without presenting a convincing reasoning is of little use. The reasoning is based on the observed facts which sometimes require appropriate analysis i.e. finding a big conk on a tree may require examination to find out what impact it has had on the tree i.e. the extent of decay, an examination of the target etc....But just presenting the facts may not be enough. Facts > Reasoning > Opinion. Get that flow right, the reader should agree with your opinion or have to find as convincing an argument to disagree. I see quite often a tree surgeon applying to remove a "dangerous" protected tree only for the council to say No! The tree surgeon may be right, they just haven't presented their case well enough to convince a reader. Thus my comment.
