I must have missed the posting where you proved RF waves do not obey
the *average* power density (irradiance) equation from "Optics", by
Hecht. Neither Hecht nor I have ever said anything about instantaneous
virtual power except that it is "of limited usefulness". Nothing you
have posted about instantaneous virtual power has disagreed or
disproved anything that I have said about *average* power where I
simply quoted Hecht. I suspect that your instantaneous virtual power
must necessarily obey the conservation of energy principle but I am
not going to waste my time trying to prove it. Hecht and I seem to
agree 100% that *average* energy flow obeys the laws of physics.

May I suggest that you read "Optics", by Hecht and post anything with
which you disagree. I, and others, stopped taking you seriously when
you said that an equal magnitude of the forward Poynting vector and
the reflected Poynting vector proves that zero energy is crossing the
boundary (without adding that it is zero NET energy). You have
probably ruined your technical reputation with such nonsense.
