your source, and yet unable or unwilling to confront this single
observation.

Since the EM energy doesn't flow across the match point boundary
toward the source, it must be redistributed in other directions.
In a transmission line, there is only one other direction, i.e.
the reflected energy is re-reflected at the match point. Wave
cancellation in a transmission line redistributes the energy in
the opposite direction as constructive interference.
