I don't think it reasonable to be held responsible to explain what
other people write. It's not a particularly rigorous or precise
treatise, Cecil.

Is it really imagination that accomplishes that magic feat?

How clever. You'll forgive me if I thought it better to ask you to
visualize the concept than for me to try to draw a football field
sized pair of capacitor plates with you between them using ASCII
characters. I suspect most other readers were able to accomplish the
task.

Jim, you have *NEVER* said what you think causes total
re-reflection of reflected waves (aside from your magical
imagination).

In fact, I have repeatedly explained it to you. Ad naseum. And so
have many other people on this group.

Please enlighten us with some math and details
that don't violate the laws of physics.

Texts like Born and Wolf and Jackson say it much more elegantly than I
ever could. There's a pretty good picture of it (albeit pitifully
notated) on your web site.
