You must have one of your special tricky-dicky narrow-
minded physics definitions for "reflect" like you do for
"power" and "transfer". It is a fact that the internal
reflection is reflected at the outside surface of the
thin-film. Constructive interference energy due to wave
cancellation joins that reflection energy and becomes
inseparable from it. It has been commonly called a
reflection (actually a re-reflection) for decades.

As I said, please let us know when you come
understand the difference between units and physical quantities.

Please let us know when you come to understand the difference
in definitions between two technical disciplines. Unfortunately
for your definitions, amateur radio is a subset of RF engineering,
not physics. You may, in time, succeed in your quest to change
the definitions previously accepted as valid in the field of RF
engineering. Then again, you may not. Time will tell.
