To base conclusions on the greatly different working voltages and
currents of devices is entirely incorrect. But it is easily done and
leads to misunderstandings when novices and learners attempt to
analyse circuit operation.


It is not incorrect. It is quite correct, and everyone who designs
solid-state linear RF power amplifiers (including me, not a novice) knows
that it is correct. The truth in this matter is perfectly obvious to any
really knowledgeable individual.

Are we confusing load impedance with the device equavalent resistance?
