I have told you time and again that your understanding is
wrong. My claim is that for the special case of a 45 degree
phase difference between the forward wave and reflected wave,
the *average* power in the reflected wave is dissipated in the
source resistor. Irradiance is an *average* power density as
defined by Hecht, in "Optics". I have told you previously (many
times) that when I use the word "power", I am talking about
*average* power. I agree with Hecht that instantaneous power
is "of limited utility" and is therefore mostly irrelevant.

For the record - for the umteenth time: When I say "power", I
am talking about "*average* power". If I ever talk about
instantaneous power, I will say "instantaneous power". If
you still don't understand, you need professional help.

This sentence fragment from your document suggests this:
"reflected energy from the load is flowing through the source
resistor, RS, and is being dissipated there".

I left no doubt as to what I meant in my document. Here is
a quote from the second paragraph in my document:
"Please note that any power referred to in this paper
is an *average power*. Nothing is being asserted or implied about
instantaneous powers. In fact, instantaneous powers are completely
irrelevant to the following discussion."

I simply don't know how to say it any plainer than that.

I really resent your lack of ethics in this matter.
If you are forced to create a Big Lie about what I have
said in order to try to win, is it really worth it?
