The conjugate match theorem tells us nothing about what goes
on inside the source, never has...never will. The rules or
limits of the theorem even state that.
Anyone who thinks a match to the source means 50% efficiency
apparently haven't read the theorem or can't understand what
the model represents. All it represents is maximum power
transfer. Nothing more.
