When two waves traveling in opposite direction say in a thread, superpose the shape of the thread becomes flat. Where is the energy stored in the thread now. When a single is travelling, we say energy is stored as potential energy. But here there is no displacement of the thread in the vertical direction. So, there should be no energy stored. But they emerge out as two different full waves... where did this energy it derived from again?
