Default Constructive interference in radiowave propagation

Jim, I'll make the same deal with you that I have offered
to others with, so far, no takers. If you can prove that
I said that powers interfere, I will send you $100. If
you cannot prove that, you send me $100, and cease your
unfair straw man argument methods.


Please don't take this the wrong way, Cecil, but after seeing this
response to a fairly inert remark, I'm not feeling comfortable enough
to take you entirely at your word.

Perhaps we just misunderstand each other, but I don't know of another
way to interpret what you have written. If you don't believe that
power interferes, then why else would you continually write
interference equations in terms of power? You can't just arbitrarily
throw quantities with any units you like into equations, and then
claim authoritative references as your source, Cecil. Is it your
contention that interference is not a validating pre-requisite for use
in an interference equation?

I'm pretty sure somebody using the name Cecil Moore posted Ptot = P1 +
P2 +2*SQRT(P1*P2), and used the equation to show how two 100 watt
generators generate 400 watts. Help me out. Where did I mess up here?
