I did not research your reason for making the statement. However,
there is a commonly accepted derivation of a skin effect calculation
that makes frequency inversely proportional to skin depth. There is
nothing about the fraction of the wavelength that occupies the
conductor length. Can you provide a technical cite? Thanks.
