That is not even close to being true.  There is indeed capacitiqve 
coupling between the bent ends of a true Moxon, and in fact the amount 
of coupling is quite critical to its performance.  Check Cebik's design 
discussion if you don't believe me.

Moxon's are nothing more than 2 element Yagis with end bends. There is
virtually no coupling at the voltage max's for the driven and parisitic==so the
 ends can be placed fairly close together. Same with spider beams, hex
beams,  yadayada.
