I`m guessing Art`s point was that all circuit elements are impure. A
resistor has lead inductance and is shunted by self-capacitance, etc.
That is not the only cause of anomaly. Size in terms of wavelength means
that radiation becomes significant in some cases, especially in
structures designed to radiate.
If there is radiation from a circuit, ordinary circuit analysis does not
apply say King, Mimno, and Wing, all Ph.D.`s at Harvard teaching U.S.
Army and Navy officers in the Graduate School of Engineering during
WW-2.
