It should have been fairly obvious to most that's NOT what I was
saying.

You said "Waves cannot be destroyed". I quoted Hecht saying that waves
can be created and destroyed. Please tell us again that, "RF waves
are not destroyed by a dummy load." When you come to understand that
EM waves can be destroyed but the energy in those waves cannot be
destroyed you will begin to understand EM physics.

A google seach says you're wrong. The only hits for 'cannot be
destroyed'
are by an author named Cecil Moore.

Try "cease to exist". Here's what you said. Read it and weep.

Waves cannot just "cease to exist" for the very same reason that
energy cannot cease to exist.

"Ceasing to exist" and "being destroyed" are identical events. Waves
that are destroyed cease to exist. Waves that cease to exist must,
of necessity, be destroyed. So where did you learn your ethics? At
the rattlesnake farm?
