The Quantum theory may replace the wave theory some day, but the wave
theory has always satisfied my needs.

W8JI is confused above. Wave theory, i.e. the distributed network
model, is not much of a modeling shortcut. The lumped-circuit
model is the actual shortcut and is a subset of the distributed
network model. The lumped-circuit model conflicts much more
with Maxwell's laws than does the distributed network model
which conflicts hardly at all.
