Everybody seems to understand how a coil works.

Crucially, you don't. The main property of a "coil" is inductance, and
at the most fundamental level you do not understand what inductance
does.

Very few
people understand how standing waves work.

Once again: crucially, you don't. You demand that ordinary electrical
phenomena (like inductance and even current) change their properties or
definitions in the presence of standing waves.

You are doggedly trying to make those two misconceptions cancel each
other out. Won't work.


There's no point
in discussing what people already understand. There's every
point in discussing what people don't understand.

I certainly agree with that... but we may differ about who we mean by
"people" :-)
