Ask yourself why they choose to not model the antenna. Often, when people

I think they did model it, and compared the results against actual
hands-on observations, readings, contacts, etc.

This is why they make the claim NEC is missing something ... they simply
believe their eyes, ears and meter readings and signal reports ...

The evaluation of this antenna should start with connecting a choke
type BALUN at the input to isolate feedline radiation. A few feet of
wire draped across some tree limbs can let you talk to the world.
There have been an awful lot of hams who have thought they just
invented the best antena out there while talking off their coax.
