My question is why you feel there is anything of significance or
anything for the "gurus" to ponder.

Hopefully, I answered that question in my other posting. If one
wants to measure phase shift using a traveling wave current, one
measures the phase shift between two points.

If one wants to measure the phase shift using a standing wave
current, one measures the amplitudes at two points and subtracts
the arc-cosines of the normalized amplitude values.

You said essentially the same thing in your earlier posting -
that there is no phase information in the standing wave current
phase and all the phase information is in the amplitude values.
