One more time: My hypothesis doesn't apply to instantaneous
powers at all so there is nothing to disprove. Please
leave me out of any discussion of instantaneous powers.

If it was just a 'suspicion' you could probably let
go of the idea long enough to learn what is really
happening and why it is not inconsistent with the
idea that reflected wave energy is a dubious concept.

One look in a mirror should convince you otherwise.

You *have* found it hard to the do the math;

Nope, I just think that instantaneous power math is a
waste of my time. Seems to also be a waste of your
time.

Your explanation is not complete until you can identify
the element that stores and returns the energy and its
energy transfer function.

I simply don't have anything at all to say about
instantaneous powers. In my opinion, such is
a waste of my time. You might as well be demanding
that I produce the math for how many angels can
dance on the head of a pin.

Energy can not be destroyed.

Yet, you are trying your best to destroy the energy
in the reflected wave. Since you cannot destroy
reflected energy at the average power level, you
are trying to destroy it at the instantaneous
level.
