But does it hold? You've squared up a vector quantity to get something that
by definition has no direction. Telling me that power is a scalar is surely
a starting point, not a proof that nothing reactive is there.

But are you sure that radiation resistances are only real?
By definition: they are notionally responsible for the real power that
is radiated. Reactive elements cannot be responsible.

Christian,
I don't think John was stating that there is no reactive part, only that power cannot be dissipated in it.
