Keith, you keep leaving out the word "net". If the current on each
side of a zero-current point is not zero, all that zero current
measurement means is there is equal energy flowing in both directions
so there is no *net* energy flow. The fact that Maxwell's equations
cannot be used on your condition of interest should be a clue that
something is wrong with your concepts and/or logic. You are
essentially saying that there is no traffic on the Golden Gate Bridge
because the north and south traffic averages out to zero. It is a
faulty concept. That zero net traffic keeps on wearing out the
roadway.
