I suppose that is a name you could use, but do you still
call it "standing wave voltage" when there is no
reflected wave, i.e. Vr is 0 for all time. There is
no standing wave when Vr is always 0.


We are not discussing matched systems. If the total
RMS voltage differs from the RMS forward voltage,
then Vr is NOT zero.


True for this example. But it is generally unwise to pick
names or descriptions that will have to change when
the component values are changed.
