think anyone is stupid enough to assert that the phase shift
in a capacitor is the same as it is in the absence of any
physical impedance discontinuity.

Capacitance is not obtained in a physical impedance discontinuity?
or is it:

You missed the point. A terminating capacitor is a two
terminal network. The point where two pieces of feedline
are connected is a four-terminal network. A two-terminal
network is different from a four-terminal network.

More signs of your confusion. How would you know how many terminals
if its inside a box?
