Your arguments about feedline loss are good. I agree that
real power reaching the antenna terminals is what counts.


What's the problem? You got FCC regulations limiting us to the power we can 
run. It is up to us (hams) to get as much as possible into the air (antennas), 
very simple. Use low loss feedline, use effcient antennas and you can produce 
signal that you can be proud of. That's the ART of amateur radio, you gotta 
learn and use it. 
Smart antenna is the one that puts the most signal where you want it and 
there are books about them. Looks like the garbage about RF exposure limits is 
creating lotsa QRM.
RF is good, cures cancers, heats things, communicates and QRMs if put on 
power lines where it doesn't belong.
