Great comments, Clayton...  They seem like corollaries to the old:

        If you cannot dazzle them with brilliance,
                baffle them with bull...

All this talk about the theory is well and good, but in actual practice, what

Had an engineer at Collins Radio tell us (in the 60's) that "... the SWR will 
circulate until
it is dissipated."  He just didn't say where.  Could be in the tank circuit or 
the antenna.

Had another engineer that had a favorite saying "If the facts do not conform to 
theory, they
must be changed."


Hope to interject a little levity into the hard core discussion of the theory.
