I don't diverge from them, Jim. I have simply tied a few loose
ends together using logical deduction based on the laws of physics.
So far, you have produced zero instances where I diverge from
the laws of physics. OTOH, you appear to have diverged quite often,
e.g. Maxwell's equations prove that standing waves can exist without
a rearward-traveling wave, cancelled waves don't contain energy or
momentum before they are cancelled, reflected waves are not re-
reflected by wave cancellation, there is no before and after, etc.

PFtotal = P1 + P2 - 2*SQRT(P1*P2). And that's where your favorite
equation comes from.

I have said all along that energy cannot be separated from the waves
containing the energy and that's why an energy analysis is possible.
