Why make something difficult out of a simple
problem? How can you tell one packet of energy
from another? Please do the measurement if you
choose and report back what you find.

My question precisely.

How can you tell one packet of energy
from another?

It's easier than distinguishing one cyle of a sine wave from another.

Please do the measurement if you
choose and report back what you find.

Just send the coil you would like me to test. I'd be pleased to do it
for you and report back.

Certainly not true if one knows the device under test
is shorter than one wavelength. I have measured a lot
of voltage circuit delays. I have never measured an
energy delay, whatever that is.

Pick any old air-core in the 50-100 uH range. 20 turns
of #16 wire on a 2L pop bottle should do the trick.
