That's a metaphysical question.

So it is settled then. There is no NEED for a forward OR reverse
travelling wave. Differential equations rule.

First please prove that you are real. :-)

It doesn't matter if I am real as long as you think I am.

Use the analysis technique of your choice, but only as long as
it gives you the correct answers.

It has in every case so far.

Well, except for the inability to explain where the "reflected
power" goes in the transmitter. Of course this is not an issue
for carefully selected examples where no "reflected power" reaches
the transmitter. A more general analysis technique would not
require such careful selection of examples.
