Oh, I WOULD propose that 477 ohms is "real"; *indeed, it as real as
gravity. *That is the ONLY reason you would find it in antenna
calculations and mentioned in books ... however, you are quite correct,
it seems it only serves as a "placeholder" and as a "magical
number"--its' only purpose, to make equations and assumptions work which
would otherwise not ... what that 477 ohms "really is", is the crux of
an important omission/guess/fudge-factor/etc.

*All the above is material that you can use in your determination if I

accepting only that which you can personally derive from first

Art, I believe you sane enough, you simply "poke at matters" which are
taboo ... and, I am loathe to be more specific. *You either see the
discontinuities which prevent "the picture from being complete", or you
do not. *If I felt I could go even further out on a limb, I would. *For

John,
my first point was the 477 error but you didn't catch on.No problem
Regarding taboo. When the gloves are taken off then every thing
goes !.
The first person to fire does not make the rules for what then ensues.
When a animal kicks you in the crotch then there is a good chance it
has rabies
and you do what you have to do,. Ofcourse you can run away but then
that
would be very painful and lasts a life time. Let it drop
My very best regards
