I am familiar with the common usage of the expression 'power flow' and

grief for it.

You are technically correct but it doesn't matter. The Sun
will rise tomorrow even if the Sun is fixed in space. I'll
even bolster your argument. RF energy moves at the speed
of light in the transmission line. The power meter is
standing still compared to the transmission line. If the
power meter were moving with the energy at the speed of
light, it wouldn't work at all. Does that help? :-)
