Are you suggesting that an

infinitely long to read steady state?

Your infinitely long open-circuited transmission line example
certainly takes infinitely long to reach steady-state so the leading-
edge EM wave continues forever with zero reflected EM waves and your
argument involving reflected waves falls apart.

Your finite open-circuited transmission line example reaches DC steady-
state where EM waves cease to exist so your argument involving forward
and reflected waves falls apart.

Hi Richard, good day:

Again you give me another rethoric answer... Please, tell us how to
measure to distinguish Osc. A from Osc. B, having Osc. A 4*10^28
quanta and Osc. B 4*10^28 +1 quanta, having each 80 m quantum 2.3 *
10^-19 J.

Your answers are making me remember = "It was the only explicit
answer you will ever get" or "Superman's cataracts with his xray
vision. This is probably going to be your only direct
answer." (Please do not go upsetting, I am joking).

You dislike my examples, you dislike R & H & K classic and obviously
really good peer reviewed book reference (and examples), you dislike
university notes, you dislike analogies, you dislike Sagan... Today I
know all things you dislike, what I do not know is how measure A and B
oscillator to distinguish each other... :D
Remember, you are rebutting things stated in standard university
physics book, does not reverse the burden of proof.
Please be a good boy, be plain and do not resort to old tricks such as
posting esoteric rocket science hiper-specialized incomprehensible
answers :)
