you were not disallowing the fact that the source, which is matched to

to see we agree on that little point after all.

Old diversionary trick - doesn't work. We do NOT agree on "that
little point". Agreeing on that little point requires negative
energy which doesn't exist. The reflected energy is 100% re-
reflected. Nothing is coming out of the source and nothing
is going into the source.

But that requires complete reflection of the return
wave at the interface between the source and the line.

Yes, reality requires that. However, wet dreams do not
so be my guest.

I repeat: [In the case of a line connected to a source, with the
impedance of the two matched--not conjugate] It's obvious that the
source is sourcing the forward voltage wave, and it's sucking up the
entire reverse voltage wave from the line.

All with the voltage waves being completely devoid of energy.
Will wet dreams never cease?
