All of your unethical lies, innuendo, and hand-waving
will not change that fact of physics.

More precisely, the average value of the imputed reflected
power is numerically equal to the increase in the average
power dissipated in the source resistor.

More precisely, at the *exact* time of arrival of the
reflected wave, the average power dissipated in the
source resistor increases by *exactly* the magnitude
of the average reflected power. Do you think that is
just a coincidence?

It is not obvious why you reject this more precise, less
misleading description.

Why do you use such unfair ill-willed debating techniques
based on innuendo and not on facts in evidence?

IMO, our two statements above say the same thing
with mine being the more precise and detailed.
I don't reject yours - I just prefer mine.

If the source of the increased dissipation in the
source resistor is not the reflected energy, exactly
where did that "extra" energy come from at the exact
time of arrival of the reflected wave?

Hint: Since the only other source of energy in the
entire system is the reflected wave, any additional
source would violate the conservation of energy
principle.
