Tank circuits don't "work fine as long as everything is taken into
account"? That's a really, really strange assertion.

Would you like to
show me how to make a half-wave capacitor? If your theory is
correct, you should be able to model a capacitor as a transmission
line, also.

Please show me how to build a physical capacitor with distributed
inductance and I indeed will show you how to make a half-wave capacitor.
I suspect it is possible but to the best of my knowledge nobody has ever
tried to maximize the inductance in a capacitor.

You can argue as much as you want
about "phase reversing coils" and such, but unless you've done some
math and tried to get the results of your math to ape reality through
experimentation, the probability of your understanding the subject matter
is very small.

I am amazed that you disagree with Kraus. If your math disagrees with
reality, it is simply wrong and has turned into a religious belief.
You are free to worship at the alter of mathematics but please don't
expect the rest of us scientists to join you there.

A transmission line in a distributed network can reverse the phase
of the signals. A coil in a distributed network can reverse the
phase of the signals. Do you really expect anyone to believe that a
one wavelength long helical antenna can exist without phase reversals?
If so, you have just re-written the laws of physics.

The Catholic priests 500 years ago believed their religion was superior
to reality. Today, you believe your sacred cow math models are superior
to reality. I don't see an iota of difference between those two positions.
Math models cannot be used to verify reality. It is supposed to be the
opposite situation. I guess I should expect you to put me under house
arrest as the next step in shutting me up.
