Beginner antenna question

The rule still holds, for a bigger signal put up more metal.

An appealing rule, isn't it!

I had three QSOs with stations on Saturday on 40m that were using an "80m
coax centre fed dipole". I explained to them that if they halved the size
of their antenna, it would work ten times as good.

This simple case shows that the "rule" ain't a rule.
