Jim, you and others have disagreed with definitions in the IEEE

Accessing Google, the first thing I found was:

you see the IEEE refer to watts traveling through a wire.

Yet the IEEE says:
"power-flow vector ... giving magnitude and direction of *power*
per unit-area *propagating* in the wave."

The unit of power is the watt. Waves travel through wires. The
IEEE Dictionary says, in so many words, that watts per unit
area are propagating in the wave along the wire. "Propagating"
and "flowing" are close enough to be considered synonyms.

Thus illustrating your belief that the IEEE claims that power
propagates through wires. Obviously, if the question were put to
them, they would say they were defining the Poynting Vector, not
inventing a new natural phenomenon. It is your belief here with which
I disagree. That has always been my point, as is plainly evident from
your quote.
