Really? How much gain? If I have a dipole fed without a balun, how
much gain will I get when I add a balun to it?

Does it have to be a gain device to be able to call it an antenna
system?

You have already been given the definition of a dipole by several
people. If you prefer to call it something else, call it what ever
you want . It shouldn't take you more than a couple of weeks to
change all the text books and technical references to your definition
of a dipole.

If I have any questions on the correct way to build a dipole, I'll ask
Frank or Doc. They understand how to build them.
