:-) :-) That was my exact reaction when you wanted to
focus on the infinitesimally small times associated
with instantaneous powers. :-) :-) You are to blame
for that focus, not I.

It only takes one example to prove your claims wrong.
I didn't want to focus on instantaneous power at all
but you insisted. Now that your own techniques are
being used to prove you wrong, you are objecting.

At the time when the instantaneous source power is zero,
the only other sources of energy in the entire network
is reflected energy and interference energy. That's
a fact of physics.

You have gotten caught superposing powers, something
that every sophomore EE knows not to do. I repeat:
The only time that power can be directly added is
when there is *ZERO INTERFERENCE*. The test for
zero interference is: (V1^2 + V2^2) = (V1 + V2)^2
