Well, that certainly violates the conservation of
energy principle. We know the reflected energy is
not dissipated in the load resistor, by definition.

The only other device in the entire system capable
of dissipation is the source resistor. Since the reflected
energy is not dissipated in the load resistor and you say
it is not dissipated in the source resistor, it would
necessarily have to magically escape the system or build
up to infinity (but it doesn't). You keep digging your
hole deeper and deeper.

How many joules are there in 100 watts of
instantaneous power?

Obviously. It depends on how long you let the
100 W of instantaneous power flow. Integrate and
the answer shall be yours.

I'm not the one making the assertions. How many joules
of energy exist in *YOUR* instantaneous power calculations?
