Default 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. If you are knowledgable to know the differance then you would probably of had one yourself. Just spit out the lengths you used on yours and how well did the bloody thing do. Mines 60ft long, 35ft high and no counterpoise, just 16ft of coax from a 9-1 unun. 15ft vertical and 45ft horizontal. It works great, with a rough 1500 mile radius.
