What if the load is reactive? What then?
The reactive nature of the circuit would cause the phase shift between the curent and the voltage. It doesn't change the fqct that the ratio of v(t)/i(t) is still meaningless for power engineering applications.
BTW: I didn't say nonsense, which would imply language, conduct, or an idea that is absurd or contrary to good sense, I said it was meaningless for the general practicality of power engineering. Now v(t) x i(t) is a different story.
