Of course, I'm mpore likely to assume that discrepancies between
computer world and reality are my fault. Some others might assume that
the data they input was correct, so it must be the programs fault....

And some on the fringe might say the antenna CAN't work - the computer
says it can't!

Absolutely, I am NOT making any statement "they" are correct (I have
never tried this antenna myself--either as a model or as an actual
antenna in reality.)

But, anyway you cut it, and on the ground floor, there ARE discrepancies
in the basic equations, formulas and assumptions being put to use in the
NEC, someday these will be fleshed out ...
