Note that the 0.35 dB loss is not converted to heat or dissipated. The

So the reflected wave is somehow mysteriously exempt from the loss/m of
the coax then!!

He is correct. That 0.35 db loss exists even if you have zero feet of
coax. It is a "point loss", unrelated to coax length.
The loss in the coax is separate.
