Tom, W8ji apparently is an expert with antennas having lectured
at Dayton and has authored many technical articles around antennas,
states that radiators must be straight for maximum efficiency,
apparently

Art,
The only place I have ever read that on Tom's site is related to Beverage
antennas- the statement is true, and for obvious (to most of us) reasons.

I know it is considered as obvious to those who resist change.
Obvious as you stated means that there is no possible alternative
available because all is known.

Well, suppose you show us for a given length Beverage antenna, how
configuring it in any other shape but straight makes it a better Beverage.
