...Standing waves don't stand still...

Good grief ! Semantic nonsense.

Ref. webpage (URL above):
1) Red wave moving (has direction: right).
2) Green wave moving (has another direction: left).
3) Black wave is (by any reasonable definition) NOT MOVING. Neither
left nor right. It has no direction. It IS standing still.

YOU WILL NOTE THAT THE WEBPAGE EVEN HAS TWO ARROWS AT THE TOP
INDICATING THE DIRECTIONS FOR THE TWO WAVES THAT ARE NOT STANDING
STILL - THE RED AND GREEN WAVES. IT DOESN'T HAVE A THIRD ARROW FOR
THE BLACK STANDING WAVE.

Of course, the black wave is still 'AC' (a pointlessly obvious point).
It might be worth pointing out this 'duh!-obvious' up-and-down motion
of the black standing wave to eager RF newbies, but it is not worth
making an argument.

Cecil, your point is pure, unadulterated semantic nonsense.
