I suppose it would, but we should remember that the comparison was not made
against a full size dipole. It was made against an electrically short
vertical, which would already be many dB down from a full size dipole.
So far there is still no data anywhere in the world showing an EH antenna or
a CFA actually producing the same field strength as a properly working
quarter wave vertical or a full size dipole... let alone the greater
efficiencies claimed by their inventors.
