Yes, that is correct. The impedance of the source (a perfect voltage
source) is zero, so the reflection coefficient seen by the reverse
traveling wave is -1.

The logic of this assumption eludes me. In fact, it seems completely
illogical and counter to the concept of how voltage and current waves
are observed to move on a transmission line.

The reason that the logic eludes you, Roger, is that it
can exist only in the human mind where anything is possible.
Roy's above statement requires a belief in the supernatural.

The impedance of a real world source is never zero and
Roy cannot leap tall buildings at a single bound except
in his mind. :-)
