So the claim is that the amplitude of the reflection being bandied about

At least, that's the way it appears to me, the uninitiated.

Shirley, you jest. Reference pages 17-20 in _T-Lines & Networks_ by Johnson.
Consider a T-line with an SWR of 5.8284:1 and a constant 100W Z0-matched
source. The forward power will be 100W, 150W, 175W, 187.5W, 193.75W,
196.875W, 198.4375W, ..., 200W. After steady-state is reached, the
reflected power is a constant 100W (sans modulation and noise).

Interesting reference. Wish I had it. He's showing re-reflections from
a Z0-matched source? I don't think I understand all I know about that.
