Personally, I didn't find anything wrong with parts 1 and 2. It's in
part 3 where Dr. Best gets lost. In an exchange on this newsgroup
before the article was published, he asserted that there was no
interference occurring at an impedance discontinuity on a transmission
line. When he published his component powers, he took into account
P1and P2 while completely ignoring (what I have dubbed) the component
powers, P3 and P4 in the opposite direction. He even invented
something like two phantom waves traveling forever in the direction of
total destructive interference while transporting energy but
completely canceling each other in the process, obviously a physical
impossibility.
