Um, yes. Can tell us why your example exhibits a reflection product

It doesn't. All reflections are eliminated by wave cancellation.
That is a given boundary condition for the simple example.

What a larf. :-)

If you can't explain it, you simply re-write the math to suit the
outcome? This is neither demonstrable nor provable, unless, of course
you simply fudge the numbers until they agree with your result. Given
that every reader here has had the opposite experience as your
prediction, this is classic thumb on the scale work - quite shabby.
