the "bouncing" is difficult if not impossible to quantitize. etc

Does the lack of a technical response to Cecil's post (so far) mean
that his analysis and conclusions are understood and accepted?

The "eliminate the transmission line" sword cuts both
ways. If the source cannot tell the difference between
driving a one wavelength transmission line and driving
a lumped circuit load directly, it follows that the load
cannot tell if it is being driven by a one-wavelength
transmission line or being driven directly by a source.
The incident signal looks the same in either case and the
load rejects (reflects) the same amount of forward power
either way. Except for the energy stored in the one-
wavelength transmission line, conditions are the same
in either case.
