I honestly don't know what happens when the third port

You should think about it because amateur radios don't usually have
circulators on their output, and the result illuminates a corner of
the discussion that you've been pretty closed minded about.

Without a load on the circulator, you must know that no energy can be
flowing to it or through it. No power is being dissipated by it.
What effect should that have on the total energy in the transmission
line, and why?

I hope it's not true about Reg. That would be a huge loss. Perhaps
somebody will archive his website.
