Actually, electrons in a wire are slow-moving particles
and tend to oscillate back and forth at RF frequencies
rather than "flowing".

But what is being discussed here is the total current
reported by EZNEC. Is EZNEC wrong when it indicates
1 degree of current phase shift in 30 degrees of
length in a dipole antenna?


What 30 degrees? There aren't any "30 degrees of length"
in a loading coil, and there doesn't have to be.
Cecil, repeating your fantasies over and over again don't
make them true.
