That's the point I was trying to make. One cannot correctly
say "the radials are a reflector" or "the radials are non-
radiating". The radials are partially reflecting,
partially absorbing, partially radiating, and partially
non-radiating based on a level of probability for each
of the possible events which are not necessarily limited
to those four events. It's not a 100% either/or situation.

The original mirror Vs radiation "argument" between the
authors is like arguing whether gray is black or white.
