Cecil,

Utter nonsense. I have never said any such thing.

What I *did* say, and it is still true today, is that there is no
difference between a standing wave and its *constituent* traveling wave
components. It is purely a matter of mathematical convenience. There is
no underlying hidden physics available from trying to look at only one
of the traveling wave components. If you sort out an individual
component then the standing wave is no longer there.

ad hominem Your debating style is a bit rough, but it is clear from
this thread that others have observed your tricks. /ad hominem
