But of course the statement is true. 1W ERP from a dummy load 
inside a Faraday screeen inside lead-lined container will also 
radiate as well as 1W ERP from a full sized dipole. The key word is 
Radiated (the R in ERP). You will need an awful lot of megawatts 
(gigawatts?) to get 1W ERP from such a dummy load but once that 
watt is radiated there is no difference.
