So "reality" exists when the software gives you the answer you expect:

but is useless otherwise? You trust it to analyze linear conductors
and inductive stubs that have inductance and capacitance per unit
length but conclude that it is flawed when the conductor is coiled up
a bit. Interesting.

Did you bother to read Rhea's paper?
