Can you expand on the two different interpretations of

Perhaps you really are disagreeing on whether EM
waves always transfer energy (using the common
definition of "transfer").


Jim refuses to provide a reference for his definition
of "transfer".

As I have said before, I am using whatever definition is used, for
example, by Haliday and Resnick when they talk about power. I am not
able to inquire as to what exact definition they use. All I know is
when you say that energy is "transferring" in a transmission line, and
then try to use that statement as proof that "power is moving" in a
transmission line, you have the wrong idea about transfer of energy.
That is precisely where this discussion originated, but I'm sure that
you will disagree - as it is your nature to be highly disagreeable on
this subject.
