Play with words, or numbers, all you like. I have been careful to
specify "power gain."

Using your definitions, a mechanical valve can have power gain, yes? That'd
be an awfully early form of a gain element.

Its power gain is infinite, because once you turn the valve, the water
flows forever. It's a power integrator, not an amplifier.
