Ha, Peter. That is of course true from a mathematical perspective. I was just trying to keep it simple. 73 – Mike

I think you want less real and more imaginary in a capacitor!

Well, it seems you knew exactly what I meant. There is no such thing as a "real" capacitor, or inductor, expect in books. 73 - Mike

I think you meant "ideal" capacitor.

 

A "real" capacitor always has some finite series and parallel resistance that causes real (watts) losses.

 

It is only an "ideal" capacitor that has none of that, nor any inductive reactance as well.  Reactive currents alway cause real losses in resistive components.  Of course, some capacitors are less ideal than others. :-)
