I resolved it, in my mind, by ignoring the latter explanation

Hi Andy,
It is a bit of a stumble reading through that, and it gives the
impression that you have learned the incorrect thing to do (although I
find it hard to imagine how you could be "doing" anything when the
mechanics of radiation and reception take care of themselves).
