Many. It is commonly held opinion.
Right, it is opinion not factual.
There is no proof what so ever that is what happens.
So you must also consider alernatives.
Current can go out into space which doesn't seem plausible
Current can flow inside the copper wire which is plausible

So now we have a measurement problem. How can we track
one path from the other or you come up with a reason
that it can't flow thru the center of copper



Frederick Emmons Terman writes on page 89 of his 1955 opus:

"When the load impedance is infinite,

WELL,WELL,WELL!

Probably true except for one thing.... THE LOAD IMPEDANCE IS NOT
INFINITE !
See what I mean about books. It is not a case of remembering what
somebody
said it is a case of connecting the dots with good logic that one
finds
unmistakable agreement.
Which brings up another point with respect to radiation about which
many admit is not known.
If the laws of Maxwell are in agreement with the extension of Gauss
which many say
of the latter is not correct then logic states we should remove
Maxwell.
Problem is that computor programs based on Maxwell laws also confirm
Gaussian law.
So now YOU connect the dots. Maxwell is correct? Computor programs
based on Maxwell
are correct. Computor programs confirm Gausses law extensions re
adding a time varying field.
Mathematics support Gaussian verification of Gaussion law, so
where is the logic of condemming Gaussian law and yet not condemming
all other laws?

Lesson: Use your own logic before referring what you read to memory
otherwise
you are just a member of the herd without a contribution of your own.
Just follow the arse of who goes before youand ignor the smell

Eq. (4-14) shows that that the
coeficient of reflection will be 1 on an angle of 0. Under these
conditions the incident and reflected waves will have equal magnitudes
at the load, and the reflection will be such that the voltages of the
incident and reflected waves have the same phase. As a result, the
voltages of the two waves add mathematically so that at the load
E1=E2+EL/2.

Meaningless jabber since it is based on "infinite impedance" which is
in error.
thus the analysis is in error for the circumstances at hand.
