Obviously you are looking for an argument
It's really not a difficult concept. Think about a stick shift car on cruise control. There's no slip between the transmission and engine, and you're lookiing to keep it at the same speed. So, as you go up a hill, the cruise control opens the throttle to give more fuel/air to the engine to keep the car at the same speed. Engine RPMs will in effect not vary as you maintain speed (without downshifting). Same thing on the genny. It's set to maintain a certain RPM. When the load increases, the throttle opens, increasing power to maintain RPM. Though the RPM may fluctuate a tiny bit, in effect it's "staying the same".
