Let's not get snippy. Models are theoretical calculations. Laboratory tests are performed in controlled environments. The Real World is neither theoretical nor is it controlled. However, models and lab tests help people in the Real World optimize their antenna installations.

I have no idea where you get this from. I have seen models of fractal antennas that show spectacular results compared to conventional designs.

This is simply not true.

Nobody said otherwise. What is called into question are your statements. If something works, then your erroneous statements about it does not change the fact that it works.
