Anything else is purely in your imagination.

Yes, and that is exactly what I am talking about. For
your argument to be true, you must prove that the
reflection from a physical impedance discontinuity
never existed. So the question remains: Exactly how
does the reflected wave from a physical impedance
never exist, as you say? That wave is one of the
two waves you are talking about above.

Why does the reflected wave with 70.7v of incident
voltage and a physical Rho=0.7143 never exist? What
allows that reflected wave to violate the laws of
physics?

Here is the example again:


70.7v Rho=0.7143
source--50 ohm coax--+--1/2WL 300 ohm twinlead---50 ohm load

Why did the reflection from the physical impedance
discontinuity at '+' "never exist" according to you?
Please stop refusing to answer that simple question.
