You are certainly free to produce the physics and
mathematics to prove your assertion. Where is it?

I have provided equations and references. Please
tell me exactly which ones you dispute so I can
quote them.

Although some people do occasionally attempt to correct you where you
have made a mistake ...

The only mistakes of which I have been accused
are poor choices of words to which I plead guilty.
Nobody has accused me of invalid equations.

What you are experiencing is the dumbing down of
technical people where the lumped circuit model
and "mashed potatoes" model of energy in a transmission
line has taken over.

The equation for standing waves has been quoted
from "Optics", by Hecht; "... Optics", by Born and
Wolf, "Fields and Waves ...", by Ramo and Whinnery,
"Antennas ...", by Kraus, and "Antenna Theory", by
Balanis.

I strongly suspect you are capable of understanding
those references.

The following two equations are equivalent and are
the equations for pure standing wave current as
exists as the primary current on standing wave
antennas.

I(x,t) = 2(V+/Z0)cos(kx)*cos(wt)

I(x,t) = (V+/Z0)[e^(jwt-kx) - e^(jwt-kx)]

If you cannot look at those equations and see that
the phase is unchanging relative to all points on
the wire, you need to go back to school and
hone your math skills.
