It is well known that (-1)^2 = +1.

You cannot show that any two powers used to compute Rho are negative
to fulfill this shift of your logic.
I probably should have said rho^2 = Pref/Pfwd. When Pref = Pfwd,
rho can be plus or minus one.
Rho can never be plus or minus one on the basis of sqrt (Pref/Pfwd).
To insist otherwise is the joke that gets me emotional with the
chuckles and gets you into a huff claiming you can't talk about it.

You sometimes quote Johnson

Hi Cecil,

This again demonstrates how you are an unreliable correspondent. You
ascribe an action to me that is simply not true.
From Johnson, section 1.6, page 16:
Is NOT a citation. Who is Johnson? Certainly you feel free to
associate my name with him, but Dr. Samuel Johnson never said any such
thing in his life. Note that I always give full names and complete
titles to my citations - unreliable correspondents are lazy
correspondents who throw statement after statement against the wall
until one sticks and they call that their authority. Read any of Gene
Nygaard's postings for boundless examples.

Cecil, this laziness of yours is part and parcel to your poor
recitations and flawed logic. You squirm to pull away from your
absurd example of imparting direction of power flow based on an
erroneous concept of finding negativity extracted from a dependant
variable based on negative power ratios. You are attempting to recast
that argument into other equivalent terms of Rho, while maintaining
this charade of that same sign inversion supporting your un-referenced
direction issue. You cannot demonstrate the direction flow sign being
constructed from a negative Rho on the basis of sqrt(Pref/Pfwd).

If you feel you cannot communicate with me, you certainly have that
right; but for this issue I am not the only one and it is not due to
my lack of communication ability (as I am probably the only one here
credentialed to that matter).
