Why you suppose I keep asking this question, Cecil?

Because you believe in intelligent waves that somehow
sense their ultimate fate and therefore know how much
energy to carry or not?

Wave#1: "I am going to be dissipated in a circulator
load and therefore, I must contain N joules of energy."

Wave#2: "I am not going to be dissipated in a circulator
load and therefore, I must contain zero energy."

Given the following two configurations where BB stands
for Black Box:

BB#1----one second long lossless feedline----BB#2
200W-- --100W

BB#3----one second long lossless feedline----BB#4
200W-- --100W

Given: All voltages, currents, fields, and powers
are identical in both systems.

Please present us with a set of Black Boxes that will
satisfy your assertions and result in different energy
magnitudes in the two lines.
