I don't think I missed it, Gene, but it is possible. There is no net
energy movement in a standing wave because the forward Poynting
vector, Pz+, and reverse Poynting vector, Pz-, are equal magnitude and
opposite directions. Therefore, no net energy movement is possible in
a standing wave.

In contrast to that standing wave, there is always net energy movement
in a traveling wave. If you can prove net energy movement in a
standing wave, you will have violated the definition of a standing
wave.

So do we now have a new requirement for waves and photons that there
must be *net* energy flow? Who cares what the average or *net* is. Think
*instantaneous* if you want to understand photons. After all, they don't
stand still, and they don't interact with each other.

You claimed that standing waves cannot be real waves because they cannot
obey photon rules. I easily demonstrated that idea is incorrect.
