If you think a standing wave is a "shortcut", how about showing the
mathematical models that support your position?

I already did, Gene, but here it is again:

forward traveling wave + reverse traveling wave = standing wave

just substitute the appropriate math symbols. There's a
trig identity that corresponds to the above equation.

Take away either the forward traveling wave or the reverse
traveling wave and the standing wave ceases to exist.
There's no valid mathematical model that supports the
position that standing waves can exist with the two
component waves.
