Well who could argue with that.


Well, of course, you do when you argue with me. For
instance, you believe that reflections can occur when
the reflections see a reflection coefficient of 0.0,
i.e. a source resistance equal to the characteristic
impedance of the transmission line. This obviously
flies in the face of the wave reflection model. When
you cannot balance the energy equations, you are
arguing with the conservation of energy principle.
