I don't think they have any control over where the tree goes. They just chew and it goes where it wants.

Beavers have no way to make the tree fall in a certain direction.Where a large colony is cutting bigger trees they look like a spilled box of matchsticks.They will fall whichever way they lean.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

I've seen huge trees that was just ringed and would die letting sunlight in, so the willow and ash sprouts would shoot right up, making for some tender eats. That's an interesting observation and thought. Surely they can't think that far ahead, but interesting.

Quit giving credit for brains where credit isn't due. Beaver are hard wired to chew, they haven't the ability to explain why. I agree 100%. There is no plan other than chew what can be chewed and drag to the water what can be dragged to the water.

I've never seen any diplomas hanging on a beaver dam, but I've seen a few PhD's hanging on walls that makes one wonder.
You don't have to tell a goose to go south in winter they just do it. Well if you saw a diploma on most beaver dams, you'd wonder too. They put a lot of dams in stupid spots.
