None of us are perfect. All of us (except Jim Kelley :-) will admit to
being human, i.e. capable of making a mistake. The Z(s) of the source,
no doubt, has an effect on the power sourced by the source. But the
"power sourced by the source" has no effect on SWR, which is independent
of source impedance. Given a steady-state forward power, nothing else
depends upon source impedance. If a one ohm source is capable of
supplying the same voltage as a one megohm source, the steady-state
results will be identical.

Given any source with any source impedance, there exists a forward
power. Given any forward power, the source impedance during steady-
state is completely irrelevant.
