In discussing Cavanal with local residents in Poteau most of them thought that anything 2000 feet above sea level constituted a "mountain". As we both pointed out, the 2000 feet elevation number is from the base to the summit.
At the top of Cavanal is a sign that says "Elevation 1999 feet." I think this is where the confusion arises. The sign leads you to believe that this refers to elevation above sea level.

I've never met anyone that thought an elevation of flat terrain above 2000 feet is a mountain, but I get your point.
