Wayne D proved it. You read it. I believe he even had scope plots.
Do a search if you don't recall.
Continuing just a little bit more off-topic, here's the thread that Sal is probably referring to showing a couple of generator output waveforms, one of them being that of an Onan Microquiet:

It's waveform sure looks like a sine wave (but with steep sides) to me. Read the whole thread to see what some posters say about why the Onan sine wave output appears perhaps not "perfect". Some comments state that it's most likely the quality of non-resistive loads being placed on it that cause the distortion in it's output waveform.
I suspect - during boost mode and bulk mode battery charging using chargers with poor power factors - that the Onan output curves will distort.
