Constructive interference in radiowave propagation
"Cecil Moore"
The kicker is that we cannot have two coherent
waves superposed in phase at one location without
having two coherent waves superposed out of phase
somewhere else (assuming no local source).

As shown by the real-world result for the combined r-f system configuration
I posted earlier (and which result I, and many others have measured in real
hardware systems) -- one output port of the 3 dB hybrid combiner when
powers there are equal and in phase (ie, fully coherent) contains twice the
average output power of either tx alone, while the other output port has
zero power. These are exactly the conditions in your quote above.
The conflict here occurs because of your belief that the combined, average
power in this scenario is not 2X, but 4X that of the individual
transmitters.
Or have you changed your mind from what you first posted?
