What complete and utter Texas-size bullsh*t. It's obvious that the
source is sourcing the forward voltage wave, and it's sucking up
entire reverse voltage wave from the line.

And doing it while magically expending zero energy.
Perpetual motion is possible, after all.

If zero power is being dissipated in the source, it cannot
be sourcing the forward voltage wave and it cannot be
sucking up the reverse voltage wave.
