Not only are they pathological, but when you order a example be built because CST confirmed that the design would kick ass and you put it in the chamber and actually measure it for real, you walk away wondering why you wasted so much time and money.
I wish I'd had a copy of the book referenced much earlier in my career too.
As far as the twisted-paperclip antennas go, just imagine trying to verify each of those 3D bends was to spec. Or conversely, running a monte carlo on all the degrees of freedom in that design.
