You are trying to tell me that if I had an excellent matching network, I could 
use a 2m dipole on 80m and it would be just as effective?

Sorry, I think you are confusing feed and matching losses and ignoring an 
effective radiator.  There is no way that I will believe that a "physically 
small radiator with a very low loss matching network" is as effective as a half 
wave antenna.
