I have published my take on that reflection. It is a two
step process involving:

1. A normal reflection from a physical impedance discontinuity
that doesn't account for all the reflected energy since the
physical reflection coefficient is not 1.0.

2. Wave cancellation between two reflected wave components
in the direction of the source results in a redistribution
of that energy in the direction of the load. This accounts
for the rest of the reflected wave energy.

Right. But the question still remains, what is your claim regarding
the exact nature of the "redistribution" if NOT reflection from a
partially reflective surface?
