That was a discussion of how the field of engineering
treats the concept of "power" differently than the field
of physics. Power engineers have no problem with the concept
of "power transmission". Most RF engineers have no problem
with the concept of RF "power transmission" down a transmission
line or from one antenna to another. Even the IEEE Dictionary
alludes to power being propagated in the direction of the
power flow vector. Of course, when the IEEE does it, they have
simply used a "poor choice of words". If you or I did it, it
would be a capital offense. :-)
