It's mildly irritating that the concepts of explanations like this (and almost all others) are based on a false understanding, through the path loss equation and the law of reciprocity, of the underlying physics of antennas. While this kind of approach allows for the proper engineering of antenna systems it is at least 50% wrong regarding the underlying physics.
