So far neither the performance of Art's 160-m antenna, nor the claims he
makes for its underlying physics have been publicly proven by scientific
method.

claimed you would not accept it because it would not have been proven
by "scientific" methods to you.

Define "works"...
Nearly anything will radiate to some extent. Even many dummy loads
and light bulbs. How much better than a dummy load would be the real
issue in the case of his small antenna.
If he did not test the antenna according to accepted methods commonly
used, *this would not matter to you?
At the very least he could put up a full sized reference dipole,
chase the spiders from the innerds of his radio, and compare
them. He doesn't even have to actually transmit to do these simple
comparisons for himself.
But in order to prove an antenna to the big wide world out there, he's
going to need to test it on an excepted antenna test range, and then
provide all the data if he wants anyone pay much attention.
This would apply to anyone, not just Art.
It seems you would except his word on it, without actually seeing any
proof of this claimed full sized lunch from a dinky radiator.
That would be weird to me.

Maybe to you, but some people on this newsgroup have alluded to my
honesty.
I never played hooky from school in my lifetime( well maybe a couple
of times)
I am not a redneck so I had no fears that education would deteriate my
inbuilt intelligence
like you did. So I was able to tuck a few years under my belt until a
free trip came about for my family and I to Central Illinois. Didn't
bargain on staying so I had to sell my house in London for a song. It
now costs so much I can't hardly afford to buy it back! By the way the
U.S. also subsidized the trip over, so your tax money was really
appreciated.
A former immigrant who made so much money over here that he stayed.

PS.
The company paid for trips to Italy,Germany,Swiss Alps and England as
well as Hispanola,PR and other Islands in the Carabbian while I was
helping the company to move manufacturing offshore. Ofcourse the
engineering jobs were transfered later and I was real sorry to see the
guys go.Now I am retired and rarely go overseas, it is cheaper to pay
relatives to do the travelling.
