I think this is true about the soil conditions and moisture retainage. Well we shall see here, I put up 18' posts, pressure treated circa late 70's, treated the ground contact area with creosote left over from the same era + painted on several coats of used oil over that. These posts were left outside and never used since the late 70's, weathered but still solid, not the best choice but free certainly helps, I wonder how long they might last, if the poles the power company pulled up last year, some of which were probably 20+ years older than me, looked like new.
