yes, we do understand it. A lot more than you do apparently.

Well then, please prove W8JI's assertion that "current is current",
i.e. that cos(kx+wt) = cos(kx)*cos(wt) at every point up and down
the wire. That should be "trivial" for you.

If you cannot prove that, please explain to us how and why
standing wave current is different from traveling wave current.
(That's what I have been doing.)

During your explanation of the difference, you will realize why
W7EL's standing wave phase measurements are meaningless - that
there is no phase information in standing wave current phase.
As Gene said, all the phase information is in the standing wave
current *amplitude*, not in the phase.
