I know intimately well what caused me to change my mind. It doesn't
make sense! It's insupportable by the underlying physics. I work in
the field; I've asked E&M people about it. I didn't make up an
explanation for this - YOU DID! Then you looked around to see if it was
true. And you want to think that Melles-Griot confirms it. But it
doesn't.

That's just your opinion, worth exactly what it costs. You have
presented no technical argument to prove your case. All you have
presented are logical diversions, personal opinions, and gut feelings.

Why do you refuse to answer the question: Given reflected energy
rejected by a mismatched load, what causes the reversal of direction
of the energy flow and momentum at the match point? It is a simple
question that you have avoided answering for months. One wonders why.

You have no idea what you are talking about. You are making a fool of
yourself.

Asserting that there is no before and after is foolish. Asserting
that a redistribution of energy in a transmission line must have
more than one choice is foolish. Implying that cause and effect
doesn't exist is foolish. Asserting that the waves involved
in wave cancellation don't exist is foolish.

If the waves involved in wave cancellation don't exist, then
wave cancellation is impossible. That's simple logic. If wave
cancellation doesn't exist, it follows that the energy flowing
toward the source is not zero even though we measure it at zero.
This is the logical hole that Dr. Best dug for himself and you
crawled right in after him. Dr. Best asserted that the two waves
keep flowing toward the load, canceling each other all the way
to somewhere (or nowhere). The concepts that you hold concerning
this subject are proven to be logically contradictory. You may
disagree, but I don't believe contradictions can exist in reality.
I believe they can only exist in human minds and yours obviously
contains a multitude. When I encounter a contradiction, I change
my mind. You obviously tolerate (and seem to enjoy) contradictions.
You even use contradictions as part of your arguments.
