Weird. It should have said  

 A practical dipole has a clear transmitting advantage on 40 in most 
cases because it is easy to make high in terms of the operating 
wavelength, while a practical Inverted L or vertical has the clear 
transmitting advantage on 80 and 160 meters, where a dipole is 
unlikely to be high enough to have a useful low angle field strength.

Also it should have added a comment about N6RK, who I believe has 
made some twenty meter over-the-air comparisons between verticals and 
dipoles. Rick?
