The discussion has had to take a step back, because we quickly

There's been some blustery speculation about that, but I think the issue
is more whether or not an idealized inductor can actually tell us the
whole story. It doesn't seem to.

Without that shared fundamental understanding of what "the lumped model"
is, it's hopeless to discuss whether or not that model is accurate for a
practical coil.

Perhaps so. I haven't seen anyone actually share their fundamental
understanding of the model with the group yet.

If a loading coil has no effect on the current or the electrical
length of the antenna, exactly what effect does it have?

Apparently the correct answer is "loading".
