Oh my, you sound so upset.
Your theory used in Eznec was designed
around known "reality" because you found the need to add the proviso
that there was a sino soidal current at all points on the radiator.
Number one, it is not legitamate to add a proviso or a special
condition
to a known law.( Electrical or Mechanical)
Number two It becomes a worse problem when the proviso added is in
error.
Number three, You should not retain a proviso if it proves incorrect .
The fact that present theory has passed the test of time means
nothing.
The threat of retaliation trumps science when humans are concerned.
Gallilao never saw the day that the earth was proven round which
stood the test for a very very long time.
But you could explain to the world how a sino soidal current passes
thru
a distributed capacitance and still retain its properties as it
encounters every segment. This is per the proviso you have placed
with
existing Maxwell's laws with respect to your computor program.
But no you can't! Until then I don't think you are equipped to say
that written theory can be taken as fact.Especially when known laws
are twisted so you can gyrate your program to known reality.
The old saying still stands, Garbage in will produce garbage out
unless the outputs are subject to reprocessing !

Art,

I'm sure Roy is quite capable of defending himself against your accusations,
but I think you are being a trifle unfair. EZNEC is a simulation designed to
predict the performance of an antenna design. Being a simulation, certain
assumptions and approximations have to be made in order for it to work. The
fact is that in most situations it does provide an accurate prediction of
antenna performance. There are some special circumstances where it won't.

Integral calculus has been described as one of the greatest advances in
mathematical science, but that is still only an approximation method and
nobody complains about that.

Let's all behave and not argue okay?

Best wishes
