I think you put your finger on it, Richard. That's exactly what
inspired the 'sloshing energy' comment.

Except that the "sloshing energy" comment doesn't have the energy
sloshing from the load to the match point and back at the speed of
light. As I understand the concept of "sloshing energy" it is sloshing
back and forth rather locally between the inductance and the
capacitance.
