I think the circuit changed. Don't you?

The circuit changed without changing the forward power,
reflected power, and SWR so nothing of interest to the
present topic (V/I ratio) changed.

Do you know what dictates the SWR in a distributed network?
Certainly not the length of the feedline or the removal
of a tuner (assuming lossless conditions).
