Default Standing morphing to travelling waves, and other stupid notions

Just what is a "wave", anyway? Are there different "kinds" of
electromagnetic wave?

Take a look at the E-field, H-field, and direction of travel for an EM
(photonic) wave. An RF standing wave does not behave like an EM wave
nor does it meet the definition of an EM wave which can be represented
by a Poynting vector. The Poynting vector for an RF standing wave has
a magnitude of zero and no direction.
