It is your misunderstanding that:

1. amateurs always connect coax directly to a dipole. they don't.
those that are in the know will use a balun.

In the past, many amateurs did connect coax directly to a dipole.

And what they do if they have the monopole?

Connect it with coaxial transmission line, idiot.

I think Szczepan is using the type of logic that concludes, as cats have
four legs and dogs have four legs, then cats are dogs.
