Are the principles that apply to this example inconsistent with the
general case (eg dc, ac, transient, steady state etc)?

Yes.


I would have thought the answer was NO, the principles are *not*
inconsistent with the general case.

Hi Owen,
See the example I posted where a pulse is sent down the line. In that
case all the energy is dissipated in the source resistor.

Dan, I don't deny there may be cases where that may happen, but it is not
true that reflected power is necessarily dissipated (or partly
dissipated) in the equivalent source resistance.
