Long Wire direction question

Why do all hams fall for the same old bait of random length wire V x amount of wavelengths wire. Does it really matter, it's a wire antenna fed from the end. Why try and justify its length, name and how many wave lengths long the bloody thing is.

Why? Because a lot of hams are hobbyists, not theoreticians. That's
not particularly a problem except when hams provide theoretical
explanations that are inconsistent with electromagnetic theory, such as
the notion that one can transmit/receive an "E-field" as if it's
independent from the "H" field component of an electromagnetic wave (I'm
assuming far-field here.). And then there's that constant reference to
a "magnetic loop" antenna as if to imply there must also be an "electric
loop" antenna. Sincerely, and 73s from N4GGO,
