Please stop putting words into my mouth. I said it could
be achieved with a circulator. I did *NOT* say it could
*only* be achieved with a circulator.

Do you have a list of possible approaches?

Is there any environment in which a 10 cent resistor is the
optimal solution?

It only takes a 10 cent resistor.

That is naive in the extreme and makes you sound about
ten years old. If a 10 cent resistor would accomplish
that in the real world, nobody would ever buy a
circulator.

In my world, the solution is optimized for the problem at
hand: sometimes a circulator, sometimes a resistor,
sometimes feedback and sometimes we just don't care about
matching the source so nothing at all is needed.
