You haven't proven anything other than you are inflexible in your
belief that other antenna installation can't benefit from recommended
coax lengths. Your installations are obviously perfect because you are
perfect and being so you have done everything perfectly with your
perfect counterpoise in your perfect world.

I gave two examples... there are many more..

It doesn't prove my inflexibility, it proves the inflexibility of
physics and my desire to achieve decent antenna results. I worked hard
to get the results I did, and because of it, more of my RF is "getting
out" than would have if I hadn't done what I did to achieve the
results I got. If you want to take the lazy man's way out and risk RF
inside the vehicle (and the associated problems, like the mic "biting"
your lips, windshield wipers running on their own, stereos changing
channel or powering on by themselves, speedometers waving at you as
you talk, etc) then go right ahead. I, for one, will work towards a
better antenna installation, so that physics can do its job.

Again, with a properly installed single antenna, coax length does not
matter.
