The fact that transmission lines with high SWRs suffer more
losses than transmission lines with low SWRs proves your
statement to be incorrect.

Cec, you chose the wrong argument! It proves nothing. A 600-ohm open-wire
line with high SWR can have a higher loss than even a coaxial line with
1-to-1 SWR.

And loss in the tuner makes the argument even worse.
