You are right in that 'always exceptions to the rule' thingy, but where did that 'rule' come from?
I think the idea that there can be a 'perfectly flat' SWR at more than just one frequency is a misconception that has become one of those 'myths' that seems to be very common now. The fact is that there are no absolutes with antennas.
That 'goes without even needing to be said' only applies when all parties DO know what wasn't said, everyone is on the same 'page'. There's only one way to be sure of that and that's to go ahead and say it. You gotta establish some base lines or things fall apart very quickly.
