Since I am using the distributed network model proven
valid since before I was born, I don't have to defend
it. Please don't confuse my refusal to spend 36 hours
a day defending the distributed network model with the
validity of the distributed network model.

Likewise there are no glitches in the standard circuit models for
inductance and capacitance.

Really???? Just try your lumped inductance model on
a helical antenna and get back to us.

Yet more stinking dishonest quoting from Cecil. What I ACTUALLY wrote was:

"Likewise there are no glitches in the standard circuit models for
inductance and capacitance. They work just fine, for all cases where the
dimensions of the circuit are very small with respect to the wavelength,
so that distributed effects and radiation are negligible. Where those
assumptions are no longer accurate, we can extend the simple model to
include some corrections. But the most important point is, we always
know that we're building up from a solid foundation."

There's no debating with that man. I've made my technical points, and
I'm out.



That's why you shouldn't take him seriously. He's like a college
wrestler who bites.
