Asserting that the argument is about any practical correlation is
a diversion of the issue. THE ARGUMENT IS ABOUT THE CURRENT IN A
LOADING COIL, not about the radiation pattern. The radiation pattern
is completely irrelevant to the argument. One side says the current
is absolutely constant except for radiation. The other side says it
is not constant (except for special cases). An electrical 1/4WL loaded
mobile antenna is not one of the special cases.

Nice attempt at changing the subject - didn't work.

In the process of learning why the superposed current is not constant
through a loading coil in a standing-wave antenna, you will also learn
something about standing-wave antennas in general.
