How does inserting a circulator load into a circuit that doesn't have

It proves that the reflected energy made a round trip
to the load and back. If there is no such thing as
reflected energy, how is that possible? If it is
possible in a system with a circulator load, why
is it not possible when the circulator load is removed?

You seem to be laboring under a misconception about my point of view,
Cecil. But it can't be for a lack of attempts on my part to persuade
you of it.

This question of yours from another posting gives insight
into what you are trying to say.

how is it that you were able to ascertain that this heat energy
was caused by energy that was reflected from the load rather than
having come directly from the power supply within the source?

How is it that you are able to ascertain that your reflection
in the mirror was caused by reflections rather than having
come directly from your face?
