False. Nobody has said anything about "all other frequencies".

OK. I'm not sure what you are trying to say. It sounds like we all know
and agree a reasonable physial size lumped inductor with good flux
coupling between ends and stray C to the outside world that is small
compared to termination impedance works like a lumped inductor below
self-resonance of the inductor. There is only a tiny transmission line
effect and that effect has more to do with spatial size than conductor
length.

So...

What are you trying to say? Can you give an example in you own words
explaining what you are trying to say and why it is meaningful or
useful to others?

Surely you can put it all into a few words.
