This sums it up pretty nicely. Reality is an illusion. No wonder many
people have a hard time accepting your nonsense. You have built your own
little world where reality and illusion are randomly intertwined as
suits the needs of the moment.

Reality can certainly contain illusions. Sunrise and sunset
are a couple of examples. Magician tricks are another.

If you want to prove that standing waves are not an illusion,
take away the component forward and reverse traveling waves
and show us what you have left. As I said above, to which
you objected, standing waves cannot exist independently
of their forward and reverse components. I stand by that
statement. Prove it wrong if you can.
