You are an RF dude and there is nothing
that can possibly be learned from simple DC circuits.

We studied DC circuits in EE101. Later we were forced to expand our
knowledge into distributed networks because the DC circuit model
failed at RF frequencies.

One does, however, usually require that the more sophisticated model
continue to provide the correct answer for the simpler problems that
could be solved in another way.

And it does here as well, though the answers make some uncomfortable.

Still, I observe that you have discovered no errors in the exposition.

I have not wasted my time time trying to discover any errors. In a
nutshell, what new knowledge have you presented?

Well, at least you continue to read the posts, so perhaps there is
some slim hope, but I am not holding my breath.

As for me, I have learned a lot from your postings since I first
encountered them circa 1994. Back then, I was not so knowledgeable
about transmission lines and I was trying to decide who was right.
You posted well thought out, convincing arguments and I found myself
switching from side to side. Reflected waves heat finals, no they
don't, yes they do, ... but eventually I learned. Then I continued
to read your posts, visited your web site and studied your arguments.
The challenge was to discover where you had gone wrong. Occasionally
I would think up a suitable counter example and offer it to you, but,
even then, you refused to look at examples that might threaten your
beliefs. So I no longer post with any expectation that you might be
persuaded.

Mostly now I post to ensure that a view other than yours is voiced
to help prevent those who are not yet sure from being sucked in to
your vortex.

Anyhow, I suggest you read my examples and find the flaws, for that
is the surest way to convince me that I am wrong. And don't just
post other examples that support your position, for it only takes
one counter-example to disprove a hypothesis, no matter how many
examples are in agreement. And don't reject simple DC examples
because
they lead to uncomfortable answers for it is by examining the
examples
that do not support your hypotheses that you will learn, not by
sticking
just with the ones that do.
