I join you at being astounded at the poor grasp of the most fundamental
principles being exhibited by people claiming to be engineers. I was
truly lucky in never having to work with people with that shaky a grasp
of basic circuit theory. I can only speculate that they must have moved
up into management pretty early on, before they got into a position
where they actually had to produce something that worked.

If the current (-I1) coming out of a small toroidally-wound coil,
effectively of zero length and diameter in terms of a wavelength, is
different in magnitude from the current (I2) going in at the other end,
where is the make-up-the-difference current (I3) coming from?

I1 + I2 + I3 = Effectively zero.

To where is the I3 wire connected ?

Or is Kirchoff finally going out of fashion according to some noisy,
baffle-gabbing, old-wive-contributors to this supposed educational newsgroup
?
