Thus has it been told by the Holy Cowboy of the Sacred Blind Longhorn:

Reflected energy is eliminated at the air to thin-film interface
because of wave cancellation (total destructive interference).

This Sermon given somewhere in the Sepulcher of the Prairie was to
remind us how similar this parable was to transmission line
experience:

The example I gave was designed for clarity of understanding.

It was further given that all revelations were proven through the
witness of the Holy spirit of the Range:

A Bird wattmeter indicates that all reflections are eliminated in the T-line example
so the laser example assumes that as a boundary condition.

The Bird has a stated inaccuracy of 3% (neglecting all other sources
of error) and the example above exhibits 1% products. As such, the
testimony of that Holy spirit of the Range reveals that either the
math offered is in error, or the theory is error, or the assumption
(same thing as theory in this case) is in error.

Hence the contradiction explicit within this testimony. The Bird does
not indicate any reflections - or rather it indicates erroneous
reflections (as both are equal outcomes when the inherent inaccuracy
exceeds the products by 3:1).

However, when this testimony was offered, the voice from the
Smoldering Tumbleweed imposed:
All reflections are eliminated by wave cancellation.
That is a given boundary condition for the simple example.

Hence we have the Miracle of the Holy spirit of the Range's
infallibility. That Miracle is that even sitting on the shelf, the
Bird's off zero indication is a revelation of reflections in the
Æther.

To give proof to faith, we have the Miracle of
The incident intensity upon the 3rd medium is 1.0101w.
wherein with each splitting of the wave feeds the multitudes.

Your insistance on rewriting the math to make it as different from a
T-line example as possible is simply a diversion away from the
original purpose.

The Divine Purpose, using the Holy Cowboy's Sacred Text, has been
impugned by the Sacred Cowboy to prove the Divine Purpose. It is a
heresy for those not in the Order of the Sacred Blind Longhorn to
employ this Kabala of numerology which is the right of Priests alone.

The Smoldering Tumbleweed once again pronounces:
The net reflections are not TEN TIMES BRIGHTER THAN THE SUN -
they are flat black, by definition.

And I said -
Let there be light!
