is like saying a 4 cylinder Hummer's efficiency would be improved if
you removed the chassis.

You either have to give the benifit of the doubt to W8QUR or the origonal
poster
W8QUR had benifit of editors that reviewed his work and decided it was
correct. Saying that a Pi-net is as inefficent as the OP interpretted W8QUR
as saying is a huge blunder that I doubt anyone who has the credentials to
author a magazine article would make. The OP only assumed he was talking
about Pi-networks and admitted
W8QUR did not directly refer to the network as this even though in 1965 it
was still called a Pi-net. It is also uncommon to call a pi-net a "system".
While you cant be sure unless you have the origonal article in its entirity
I will put my money on W8QUR in this case.
