We are still left with the puzzle of why the observations documented
in Reflections report a reduction in power transfer when the load is
changed in either direction.

Hi Keith,

Stripping away everything that you offer as objections to what is not
in Walt's premise (I cannot vouch for his attempts to explain the
universality of it), your statements come into conflict.

If you offer you find a puzzle about measurements, then that is simply
researched at the bench instead of in expansive wanderings in myriad
qualifications. Do you have documented measurements under initial
conditions identical to Walt's that run counter to Walt's quantitative
results?

I suspect not, or we would be talking about competing bench results
instead. This would be a more productive and genuine debate seeking
explanation for what you describe as the "puzzle."

Barring quantitative evidence, anything that continues this rag-chew
is a simple example of "modeling is doomed to succeed."
