Stop indulging in ridiculisation and tomfoolerification and get back on
track.
Expansionification of the vocabulary by extendificationalisers is
entirely valid.

I'm not sure if RF exposure causes brain cancer, but RF certainly
seems to be involved in the current increase in
hippopotomonstrosesquipedalian verbage, cancer of the vocabulary, and
buzzword hypertrophy epidemics. Please make an effort to avoid such
sesquipedalian words.[1]

I have the opposite problem. In the 1960's, as part of a teacher
preparation and indoctrination program, I was required to reduce my
vocabulary to something suitable for a 10 year old. That was about
1500 words. I don't think I ever fully recovered from the ordeal.
See radio run, run radio run.

Ever notice that antenna designers have fairly short last names?
Moxon, Yagi-Uda, Vivaldi, Gray-Hoverman, Marconi, Hertz, etc. Those
with longer names often use their shorter ham radio call signs. I'm
not sure why the short names, but the effect suggests that there will
never be a Liebermann antenna named after me. Bummer.

Are you teaching Congress?

Or is that too high a level for them?

Relying on someone's NEC program to number crunch to
produce the answer 42 is not the same as understanding
what is going on as an aid to didactification of novices.

Why is it that those who shout about NEC on the one hand, and
resort to personal remarks on the other, seem to neither have answers
nor able to contribute to discussions?

Sadly, I am reminded of those who claim that they don't need any
understanding of mathematics because of the availability of electronic
pocket calculators.

Congress critters are some of the other graduates of the teacher
preperation program. The rest write advertising copy.

That's about seven grades above what I expect. But then living here in
Washington, we get to see a different side of them. Not everything is
carefully scripted.

What's important is not the length of your tool, but rather how you
use it, especially when the subject is impenetrable.

I agree with your floccinaucinihilipilification, in this case at
least.
