Well, I'm the one Tyler refereed to in
this post. So, now that the idea is out, I'll give you my take on it.
We have played around with tetras, stacking them almost every way possible. In the STJB configuration, the was NO WAY to get all four apexes of any of the tetras within 6". Now is a good time to quote the rule.

Due to the GOAL and TETRA geometries, a TETRA may occasionally not completely “seat” on the GOAL or subordinate TETRA, and remain precariously positioned on top of the structure. Such TETRAS are not considered STACKED. A TETRA is not considered STACKED if it is touching a ROBOT of the same alliance.

If none of the tetras have all four (4) apexes within 6", they don't count. So, in this case shown, no one owns the goal and no tetras count.
Tonight, I will take some pictures of oddly stacked tetras so that everyone can see how they work in real life.
