I put to you a scenario where there was no antenna or load inductance or
capacitance, and there was a standing wave on the transmission line.

In that case, the standing wave is contained in the inductance
and capacitance in the transmission line.

That says to me that the standing wave is not a consequence of antenna or
load inductance or capacitance, or "a vibrational energy shift between
antenna system inductance and antenna system capacitance" as you put it.

When Dan said that, he was not talking about transmission lines.
He was talking about the standing wave antenna itself (without
the transmission line). You two are talking about entirely
different things.
