Does make a big difference, no current at the top!
The wire ends there, so current must stop.
Most current typically near the bottom, and feed, but can be higher up
depending upon bands.
Perhaps he is addressing the degenerate cases of antenna very long, and
antenna too short?

Based on his "unshakable" knowledge that current in the antenna loading

coil is
constant, he proclaimed that it doesn't matter where the loading coil in

the
antenna is, on the bottom, middle or close to the top.
