I've also addressed it, and from a somewhat different perspective. KK9A is entirely correct that it gets increasingly too long above 20M because of its vertical pattern tends increasingly higher, and becomes increasingly inefficient on the lower bands because it's too short.

As N6BT famously showed by working all continents on a light bulb, everything "works," but some things work a lot better than others.
