Your example is the same as putting a load resistor on an open

No, it is more akin to presenting all the evidence.
Your approach is akin to rolling dice in the dark
where you are the only one allowed to report the
results. :-)

Are you willing to assert that the power being
dissipated in the circulator resistor didn't
make a round trip to the load and back even though
the actual delay is easy to measure?

Do the reflected waves that you see when looking
at yourself in the mirror contain any joules/sec?
