 > I am not sure that using heights is the best way to get independence

 Another excellent trick I learned from Cremona for getting independence is
 to use *homomorphic images*.  I.e., reduce to a direct sum of groups of
 points over a finite field (all tensored with F_p, with p coprime to
 torsion).  Then the rank of the group you have is a bounded below by the
 dimension of the image.
