That question explains everything. It demonstrates conclusively that you
no understanding of superposition.

Here's what one of the experts told me about superposition.

In a standing wave antenna problem, such as the one you describe,

Phase is gone. Kaput. Vanished. Cannot be recovered. Never to be
seen again.
