Default Dumb question, I know: RE Bevarage antennas

ARRL Antenna Book says Beverage antennas are strictly for receiving.
Yet, I hear MANY hams report using one, presumably for transceiving.
What gives?

Also, many transcievers have connections for a receiving-only antenna.
My old Kenwood TS-520S needed only a single wire change to give it this
capability. I tried a Beverage for receiving a couple of years ago.
Didn't notice much difference.
