Richard quoted me correctly. I did *NOT* quote you. I merely

Cecil calls the total current the "standing wave current".


That is absolutely false. Total current equals standing wave
current plus traveling wave current. Or standing wave current
equals total current minus traveling wave current. Subtract
out the traveling wave component and a pure standing wave
component is left.

I could have sworn Cecil had used it in that sense before. But Ok, I'll
go along with the new definition. Any basic analysis of transmission
line operation shows that the total current is simply the sum of the
traveling wave currents. Consequently the "standing wave current" as
defined by Cecil is zero. So by "standing wave current", Cecil means zero.

This is getting stranger by the day.
