W8JI says we are correcting the power factor. Every EE knows that
correcting the power factor involves shifting the phase, i.e.
the coil cannot correct the power factor without providing a phase
shift.

This is another area where you fall right square on your face.

An inductance changes the relationship between phase of voltage and
current, NOT current through the inductance from terminal to terminal.

You either know that and are intentionally avoiding it to save face, or
you need to brush up on basic theory.

The whole controversy is that "gurus" claim current doesn't drop across the
coil, while we say that it does, ...

Yuri again distorts fact. What everyone is saying is there can be a
current change, but it is not caused by standing waves or missing
antenna area. It is caused by displacement current, and so can have a
wide range of change in a given antenna.

Please write that down Yuri, and keep it in front of you so you don't
forget again!
