A popular myth is developing that the tuner has no effect
at the antenna feedpoint and the only goal is to make the
transmitter "happy". My question is: if we monitored
only the forward current or forward power at the antenna
feedpoint, could we still adjust the tuner? If the answer
is "yes", the myth is false.

If somebody really wrote that "the tuner has no effect at the antenna
feedpoint", there are two cases:

1) either he meant to correctly say that, adjusting the tuner, the
impedance seen at the antenna terminations - or any other antenna
property - does not change (independently of whether the tuner is placed
at the transmitter end or at the antenna end). If so, it is just a
matter of bad wording, and I would be tempted to say that his english is
even worse than my non-mother tongue one

2) or he has a poor understanding of transmission lines and antenna theory

Yeah. This is probably the first time some random poster over at QRZ or
Eham has been wrong! 8^)
