I assume you agree the incident and reflected waves travel in opposite
directions in Terman`s example.

Hi Richard,

Certainly, but nowhere does Terman instruct us that this vector is a
direction, it is a phasor. The coincidence of direction is imposed by
the termination, not the math - hence the math is exclusive of such
representations of direction.

However, let's discard that difference as a triviality to examine the
original proposition thus:
To obtain a complete cancellation it requires identical powers with
identical but opposing phases. You would agree that without this
condition there is no complete cancellation?
