Sorry, that's not worthy of a reply.

OK, I'll answer it. No laws of physics get repealed just as
steady-state is achieved. All the steady-state model does is to
allow some mathematical shortcuts. (But it does not allow photons
to oscillate locally between equivalent lumped circuit constants.)

Some people apparently believe that those steady-state mathematical
shortcuts turn around and effect reality. Causing something happen in
reality by just thinking about a mental model is the domain of religion,
not science. The steady-state model does NOT effect reality. Conditions
on a transmission line are exactly the same whether the steady-state
model is used or not. Nothing magic, like disappearing standing waves,
happens at the instant steady-state is achieved.

Too many engineers believe in the primacy of consciousness rather
than in the primacy of existence.
