Cecil,

The wave is stationary. The current is not. It is as simple as that.

Distinctions between *at* and *flowing* are meaningless. Current is what
it is, and mere words don't change anything.

You seem to be reduced to arguments about semantics, which is both good
news and bad news. The good news is that there does not appear to be any
disagreement about the physics. The bad news is that the argument will
never end.
