Yet that violates the convention that reflected energy
absorbed by the source was never sourced. Why do you
think that convention was adopted in the first place?

Is not the symmetry rather enticing? And simple?

Apparently it has enticed you to ignore reality. This
argument has been raging for a good 20 years now. Some
of the brightest engineers in the world still disagree.
Your simplistic theories are easily disproved by a
bench experiment. Why you cling to them is strange.

And all so simple.

Make that simple-minded.
