The only way electronmagnetic energy can reverse direction is for it
to reflect.


Exactly! So what does cause the reflection of reflected energy
at the match point? We know it happens and you have given us
no clue as to why it happens.

I assumed you knew. Reflection is caused when a wave encounters a
change in media of some kind.

When given a choice of one
explaination provided by me Vs no explaination provided by
you, which should the lurkers choose? Is it better to be
ignorant than to be wrong? Not in my book. I learn something
when I'm wrong. I am not about to settle for ignorance.

Even at the cost of making an enormous ass out of yourself in the
process. How noble.
