If reflected energy is not allowed to reach the source, why

Continuing this thought thread - Assuming 50 ohm coax from the source
containing a forward traveling wave and no reflected wave, i.e. an SWR
of 1:1 on 50 ohm coax, what it to prohibit us from drawing our system
box through that piece of coax and considering the signal emerging
from that piece of coax to be the linear source signal which is
obviously associated with a V/I = 50 ohm impedance?
