No, you didn't. Here's what you said:

Suppose that the "standard output" is at a *constructive maximum*.

Now do you remember what you said? You implied that
constructive interference is present.

Do you think that "maximum" is an illegal concept? Does "maximum" imply
some specific numerical value?

Sorry, you did NOT say "maximum". You said "constructive
maximum".

A "constructive maximum" is greater than the average
output of the source, by definition. If you just said
"maximum", it would have been OK. When you added
"constructive" it means that, by definition, the output
is greater than the average source power.
