That's not true.  Firstly, *all* regulators are not 100% efficient.  They
lose *power* in the form of heat.  So power into the regulator will always
be more than power out.

That's pretty much what I said, yes.

No, you said the power will map through but the current will not.  I'm
saying that the power will *not* map through either.
