What you say is true, IF you assume that all the tower sections are bonded
together well. With an old tower, chances are they are not-hence my comment
about bonding the coaxes to the tower every tower section (essentially bonding
the tower with the coaxes).

Since all of the conductors appear in parallel as far as the RF currents
are concerned, feeding the coax shield(s) is irrelevant. The currents
will be there anyway, which is why adequate ground kits are a must.
I'd make certain there are at LEAST three, top, bottom, center, but
in no case separated by more than 45 degrees.
If this is done, there won't be any "circulating" currents.
