The problem is that the idea of "reflected energy" turning the plates
hot is so easy to understand, that people aren't willing to abandon it
simply because it isn't true.

It also isn't true that there is no energy in the reflected wave, that
such beliefs are gobbledegook, and that RF standing wave energy
just sloshes around in a transmission line at less than light speed.
To really understand what is going on, one has to understand
superposition and interference between RF energy waves. You
are on record as not caring to understand reflected energy. Please
don't condemn those of us who are trying to understand.
