Simple fact, the example Ralph provided is two phase power. And phase
is not limited to 90 deg, you can make it anything you want, just
rotate the second winding. Of course in physics and engineering, we
don't need to create it physically at all to analyze it, we can do
that on a piece of paper. We take two voltage source

Your simple fact is wrong. For the reason as you take one of the
windings and rotate it say 45 deg as you say. I don't know what it will
look like or what to call it, but during part of the cycle you will have
one winding 45 deg out of phase and the other 135 deg out of phase
during parts of the cycle.. Really a weard wave form. You would have
to add extra windings to get things to even out and may not wven be able
to do that if you just give it a slight rotation of say 5 deg.

The argument is useless as there is a definition of two phase power and
the split phase power as in power distribution circuits. It may very
well be something else or even called something else in other countries
or areas of electricity. Just as if yo go to the local lumber store and
ask for a 2x4 8 feet long. The board you get will not measure 2 inch or
4 inches in any direction. Standard iron pipe will not measure what it
is called either . But it is what it is by definition.
