So a very well respected CAD package agrees with Richard at least!!

Hi Jeff,

Thanx for the flowers, and sorry for having been myopic in my
correspondence and restricting my comments to response to Owen.

HOWEVER, those flowers may wilt in my hands.

That congruent result you found with my writing and what you have
found in your CAD work, sadly, does not conform to the question put.

This has been an object lesson in the difference between mismatch loss
and line loss. Such issues are frequently polluted through the course
of discussion, and by polluted I mean that two or more concepts are
combined as though they were one.

This thread has revealed just such mixture, other threads often
violate the separation of Conjugate Matching and Impedance Matching.

On the other hand, there is an upside, to you as an innocent bystander
who has participated through your own analysis. Before they wilt, I
hand that bouquet back to you for your discovery of how much impact
source Z has upon the SYSTEM.

Ultimately, that was my point all along. Having arrived there after
deviating from the straight and narrow and having plunged into the
slough of despond, redeems me (Owen, that was copied, or rather
lifted, too, from "The Pilgrim's Progress from This World to That
Which Is to Come," Bunyon, John, 1678 However, I only include this
citation so that Art can sneer at his heritage in association to
spitting on me. Any originality that I can claim is in my sense of
irony.).

I have other wallows in that slough to be revealed, as soon as Owen
gets to them in his "power explanation."
