Let's assume you are correct. Here are a few questions:

1. Given a 90 degree monopole fed against an infinite
ground plane, what would be the phase at the top of the
antenna compared to the phase at the feedpoint for any
instant in time?

2. Why would the feedpoint impedance of a 1/4WL monopole
be more than a magnitude less than the feedpoint impedance
of an infinite monopole?

3. Where does the above current go when it hits the open-
circuit at the top of the monopole?

4. Why is the total energy in the E-field at the top of the
monopole so high?

In what way are any of the questions relevant to, or deterministic of
the assumption?

Ah Jim!

You have the essence of Cecil's (r) Sub-optimal Conjugated Hypothesis
Information Transform before you, the SCHIT (c) model.

He has taken the ordinary postulate of current flow, conjugated it
into a new hypothesis through his sub-optimization. By removing
random bytes, it becomes more intelligible (I will take a stab at it
here):
1. a 90 degree monopole fed against an infinite ground plane
2. the feedpoint impedance of a 1/4WL monopole
3. current go[es]
4. the total energy
now makes perfect sense and whitens your teeth at the same time.

Returning to the process - through sub-optimization by adding
bafflegab, the future deconstruction (posts that would follow the one
above and for which I have already deconvoluted) would find Cecil
eventually unwinding the original conjugation, proving he was right by
proving you right - except you were wrong in what you "thought" (the
information transform) because he thought you were wrong.
