What is a "controlled field concept"?

What is considered "remarkable performance"?

As I understand it, the Hex Beam has about 3dB gain. That seems 
reasonable and appropriate for a small beam antenna, so it indeed 
must be a good small antenna!

I just don't understand the terms "controlled field concept" and why 
working like it should is "remarkable".
