Overturning forces when they are referred to in an engineering or architectural context refer to those forces that are excerted by enviromental forces, ie wind, water(if you have a dam), and earth. They do not refer to possible forces in the future such as bombs, plane crashes, etc.
Now stop playing cutsie semantics games, you don't even know what the rules are.
So you make a rule in your "cutsie" semantics game that an overturning force exists only if it's excerted by enviromental forces but it can't exist if it would be exerted by gravity and loss of support on one side, just because it's defined that way somewhere, damn physical reality.
Ok, I won't play that "cutsie" semantics game of yours and I don't even care what your rules are: reality has it's own, different "rules". :-)
