That's only one definition. From "The IEEE Dictionary",
the above is definition (A). Definition (B) is simply
"the real part of impedance" with the following Note:
"Definitions (A) and (B) are not equivalent but are
supplementary. In any case where confusion may arise,
specify definition being used."

Definition (B) covers Walt's non-dissipative resistance.
A common example is the characteristic impedance of
transmission line. In an ideal matched system V^2/Z0, I^2*Z0,
or V*I is the power being transferred under non-dissipative
conditions.

Yes. I agree with that, Cecil. But that's not the claim to which I
responded.
