Default Transmitter Output Impedance

:-) I saw a similar example over a half-century ago - a zero ohm
source that is 100% efficient no matter what the load. A conjugate
match provides enough power to destroy the universe. Question is: If a
source impedance is a pure reactance, can it deliver any power?
