Which means that resistance isn't truly linear, whereas reactance can
be. So Maxwell made laws, but Ohm didn't.


Oh boy... what a gem!

Ohm's law isn't a scientific "law" because it is never exactly true,
and is often grossly untrue. Resistors cost more and more as they get
closer to obeying E = I * R. You can spend kilobucks on a pretty good
1-ohm, 1/10 watt resistor.

Not "kilo-bucks".

Heres's a nice datasheet that has some good facts included...

Stop babbling, John. It's a law, and you introducing variances is
nothing more than an attempt to say that they don't weigh in, when you
know they do. It still makes the law correct.

Take whatever the "pure resistance" is at any instantaneous measure
point in time, and the other factors fall in place when either the
voltage or current is known. It is an absolute law.
