The quote above reads as though the existence of reverse (reflected)
r-f energy is being denied.


Especially strange since the "reverse r-f energy"
is the cause of the impedance responsible for the
mismatch problem. If there were no "reverse r-f energy",
the impedance causing the mismatch wouldn't even exist.
Why is the cause of the offending impedance of no importance?
