Hi Richard, does that statement assume that all energy
dissipated as heat in the source was never sourced?

It seems to. Since he wrote "all the energy sourced
into a transmission line", it's doubtful that he was implying that any
heat energy was sourced into the transmission line.

You missed the implication which was: Does any RF energy
exit the source only to re-enter the source again later
and wind up being dissipated as heat? For instance, we
know that a capacitive load is capable of returning
energy to the source during part of the cycle.
