It's a distinction without a difference.
The fact that transmission lines with high SWRs suffer more
losses than transmission lines with low SWRs proves your
statement to be incorrect. RF energy cannot stand still.
In a transmission line, there are only two possible directions
for energy to travel. There is simply more energy flowing back
and forth in a line with a high SWR than in a flat line. Until
you admit that fact of physics, this discussion cannot progress.
