There is no need to use both descriptions at the same time. The laws of
physics are complete for either.

Actually, what you don't seem to realize is that exactly the same laws
apply to both at the same time and all those laws are perfectly
consistent. Photons cannot stand still. Therefore, standing waves are
not photonic, i.e. they are not EM waves. That you assert the standing
wave E-field and H-field are 90 degrees apart is insanity (in addition
to being completely false).

Cecil,

You keep ignoring the "sloshing" explanation. Actually, you did not
totally ignore it; you did indeed criticize the choice of the
descriptive word "sloshing".

The standing wave envelope may be stationary, but the fields are not.
There is no conflict with your photonic requirements.

Since this discussion about fields and waves seems to annoy some of the
"good buddy" crowd around here, I will quit now and let you win by default.
