Yes, you did, in the part that you deleted. Here it

Phase is gone. Kaput. Vanished. Cannot be recovered. Never to be
seen again.

What I *did* say, and it is still true today, is that there is no
difference between a standing wave and its *constituent* traveling wave
components.

The constituent traveling wave components possess changing
phase. The standing wave doesn't possess changing phase.
You are contradicting yourself.

Cecil,

Sorry, I thought that English was your native tongue. Would you like me
to try to translate into another preferred language?

Hint: I stand by everything I have said in the quotes above. No
contradictions at all.

Translation: I've been caught red-handed by
my own American English words. Maybe converting
to an obscure foreign language would give me more
wiggle room.
