One should also carefully consider the more interesting variation of

Yes, but the 200 joules in the line was previously sourced
by the generator during the transient state. It's hard to
sweep 200 joules under the reflected power rug.


So is this your proof that Joules of
energy are likewise reflected from
antireflective surfaces?
