Roy, it was obviously a troll, and many of us have been caught
(again).

Art's lead in "one can see that the yagi is very inefficient" should
have been recognised by us all as bait.

No, whatever art's problems are, I don't believe he's a troll. I'm
confident that he's sincere in his statements and questions. It's just
that he often makes no sense to me, and when he does, it's sometimes so
contrary to established physics that it's reminiscent of the new age
folks. His unconventional use of "efficiency" is typical, like the use
of "energy" by the paraphysical crowd. Once in a while I make an honest
try to contribute something rational, but usually end up just making him
mad and provoking even sillier statements -- as happened again this
time. So there's really no point in it.
