For reception it is that simple. Any antenna design, whatever its shape or material, that's 'short' in wavelength terms will not hoover up as much signal as a full size one.
Fancy design will enable it to work well enough over a broad frequency range and fit inside a small box without compromising the transmitter, sure, but that's not what I was talking about.
Of course the sophistication of the electronics is important too, but if there's no signal for it to work with then that's irrelevant.
My point isn't sufficient to claim an overall performance advantage one way or the other, but coupled with @reubeno 's observations I think it's interesting.
Actually I think it all boils down to whether or not philosophically you'd rather see other people most effectively, or have others see you well. Seems to me PAW is good at the first.
