By the way, what is the impedance of a constant 100W source looking back
into its short piece of internal 50 ohm line?

All that is required looking into the 50 ohm flat coax is that the
voltage be a constant 70.7 volts. V^2/Z0 is automatically 100 watts.
So the source could have any internal impedance under the sun as long
as it supplies 70.7 volts into 50 ohms. Didn't you say earlier that
source impedance doesn't matter?
