Did I say that?

Yes, you did. Funny you would forget so quickly.

Strange, I don't remember any discussion at all along that line.

Here's what you said:

I claim those waves never exist at all and therefore don't need to be canceled.

The physical impedance discontinuity certainly exists yet
you say it doesn't reflect any waves because the "waves
never exist at all".

So the question still remains: Exactly how does a physical
impedance discontinuity not reflect any waves (in violation
of the laws of physics)? Why doesn't a Rho of 0.7143 reflect
71.43% of the incident voltage like it is supposed to?
