Capacitor-Start is not split phase.

A capacitor-start motor most certainly is a split-phase motor but the
reverse is not necessarily true. That's exactly what the capacitor is
for (to split the phases). The phase split can be done with resistance
or capacitance.

Nice try but no cigar.

You're wrong.
