Hi John,

In fact a larger disk will actually raise the launch angle - hardly a
satisfactory mirror analogy.

the "mirror" produces (half of the) photons that the
full dipole would have produced.

Photons? This is CecilBabble. Mirrors as "productive" sources of
photons demonstrates the failure of analogies.
