you're right, there shouldn't be any argument. There is more
than one way to make a loading coil. If you will visit Tom Rauch's web
page, you will see that he believes he has a method for making a
superior loading coil for small, mobile antennas. Some of the characters
on this newsgroup have misrepresented what he wrote to assert that he
believes that all loading coils behave as an ideal inductance where
the current at both ends of the inductor are the same. Read what Tom
actually wrote and then go back and look at what these people said he
wrote and you'll see the two aren't the same.

"If you look at HOW an inductor works, the current flowing in one terminal
ALWAYS equals the current flowing out the other terminal. THE VOLTAGE can be
(and is) different on each end of the inductor, NOT the current."

Would you please share with us what that posting really means?
