If you want to see some outrageous gain claims, take a look at the Telrex
catalog:

It seems to me quite clear as to what Mosley's strategy is. "Make my HF amp
happy and let me crack most pileups in a reasonable amount of time and I am
a happy DXer". That means the lowest SWR at the output of the amp for the 3
bands - period (think dummy load). All of their trap design materials are
design to be lossy and inexpensive and to balance with the lack of matching
network at the feedpoint (again inexpensive). The gain claims are legendary
and ridiculous to the point of the strategy being that if someone really
knows the theory - they will know this isn't real as a free space gain and
waive it off anyway. But a good portion of the market won't know any
better, like the match, and as long as they get through to the DX will be
happy.
