Real paddler, real boat, real water, real forward stroke.

The claim that I am disputing is that in the forward stroke the paddle
does not move through the water. So the paddle must be in WATER, and in
the same water the boat is moving through.

No having the boat in one tank of liquid water and the paddle frozen in 
ice alongside.  :-))
