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.
