The rearward-traveling current did not change phase on reflection from a
load of too-few ohms.
True, there is a re-reflection event exactly as you describe. But the
reflection coefficient for that re-reflection event is not 1.0 so not
all of the reflected power gets re-reflected. What happens to the rest
of it? How do you explain the discrepancy between the physical reflection
coefficient less than 1.0 and the apparent 100% re-reflection of reflected
energy at a Z0-match point?
