That is ONLY if looked at for 120VAC, which STILL is a false view.  A 
single phase that has its center disconnected is NOT a "flat two phase".

This is saying the center tap of the secondary of say a BC-610's plate 
transfer is "essentially" a "flat two phase".

Think again "carefully"!  That 240 is NOT, when center tapped, 180 out 
of phase with the other side!

What does that make your dryer look like?

This argument would infer that 240 or what is essentially 250, is two phase.

It certainly is NOT.
