But I still maintain that defining rho in terms of the conjugate of Zo is
"unatural" and
that "Mother Nature" naturally likes the classical...

rho = (Z - Zo)/(Z + Zo)

because that is what she uses herself when she supports the natural
propagation of waves
on transmission lines.

Thoughts, comments?

Do you ever notice the fleeting look of fear on the faces of
people as they suddenly recognize you as you walk down the street, Peter?
