I really think Arts game is to try to get someone else to do his work for
him. If not that he is suffering from delusions of granduer. Sad thing is I
have heard Arts story before in another time and place. I knew a guy that
was truly a mechanical genius but wasted it repairing bank tabulating
equipment back in the 60s & 70s when everything was mechanical. When he
retired after everything was taken over by computers he got interested in
Ham Radio, particularly interested in antennas. Many of the mistakes he made
are the same as Arts. The same mistake about efficiency.

Actually, you make a good point. But, I think we are all guilty of it;
or at least I am, I tend to try to focus attention on my personal
antenna endeavors/experiments/needs.

Not everyone needs a perfect, small, highly efficient, stealthy antenna
.... but then, not every needs a stacked pair of 5 element yagi-udas'.

And, mistakes? I am looking forward to the day I have made 'em
all--maybe then I will get relief from having 'em pointed out to me! ;-)
