If I plug in an inverter that operates from a single phase circuit
and it generates 3 phases that are 120 degree's apart, does that mean
it much be single phase because it started from a single phase source?

Excellent question. I await answers.

So far, we have two objections to a center-tapped transformer giving two
phases, both very doubtful:

1. Not two phase because the "source" (i.e., the other side of the xfmr)
is single phase.

2. Not two phase because two phases that are 180° are not actually two
phases (?!?!?!).
