Martin,
I'm happy we can agree, and draw a line under this.
I only joined the discussion to challenge your original statement that:
"This all assumes you're talking about a full size dipole. If your
antenna is more like a short whip, the current in the wire is much less,
since it is a high impedance antenna."
which seemed to me misleading.
