-sigh- The PDF version of HP ap note AN 95-1 contains 79 pages.

Simply because they encounter no ill consequence of source mismatch is
NOT evidence of the source Z being immaterial to the process of
measuring SWR.

A source mismatch affects the power available from the source. The
SWR does not depend upon the power available from the source. The
SWR is the same whether the source is 1% efficient or 99% efficient.
Efficiency depends upon Zs. SWR does not.
