I'm eagerly awaiting your analysis showing how and why it's wrong. Or
simply which of the statements and equations I wrote are incorrect, and
what the correct statement or equation should be and why. Or even a
simple numerical example that illustrates the relationship between
reflection and power transfer.

It appears that there are two groups of readers: those who are convinced
by authoritative sounding statements not backed up by any evidence, and
those who require a solid basis for believing a statement. The first
group I can't help at all. But hopefully I've reached at least some
people in the second group.

Wrong. But at least you admit that the "accepted" formula (which
is fine for purely real Zo) implies a reflection.

The absence of reflection is what makes the maximum power
transfer.
