It's a hobby . We get to choose our own metrics.
I do find it interesting that my metric of DXCC countries worked is bogus in
your mind while equally subjective experiences of yours are more valuable. Did
you compare your antennas on a calibrated range operated by skilled people?
It's a rhetorical question; no need to answer.

I am surprised that people still do not realize that working DXCC countries

helping your inverted V however why would an inverted V be your only option?
I have used various 160m antennas from a number of locations in the US and
Caribbean and found a low inverted V to be very inferior to a top loaded
short vertical even without an extensive radial field.
