There's really no mystery about it.


My point exactly! So, in the same vein, can the source impedance
adversely affect the SWR meter reading?


It will affect both the forward and reverse readings, but in equal
proportion, so it won't affect the indicated or calculated SWR (unless
there are nonlinearities in the meter, or the meter is not being used
correctly).
