Yes, and I believe they occur 1/4-weave back from the open-circuit ends
of the antenna and at the very center of the antenna.

That's how my math works too
Even less generally, one could think of the feedpoint in terms of
1/12-wave, 1/4-wave, or 1/2-wave from the end, depending on frequency.
But I'd be inclined to use 1/6 or 1/2 of the total length for fear of
brain fartage.
