So here is my main question: do we object to the vertical radiation per
se (i.e., if we wanted vertically polarized radiation, we would have put
up a vertical in the first place), or is radiation from an unbalanced
line somehow more insidious in that it causes other problems that
"ordinary" verticals do not cause? In other words, why do we really care
about imbalance?

Would you intentionally load up your house wiring an use it as an antenna?
