You just spent 4 years vehemently arguing the exact opposite point of

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? :-)

science fiction cartoon. "Cecil and the Power Meters"

Now that's the kind of humor that actually merits a smiley face! :-)
