P.S.
I would challenge you to prove that the term "DC sine wave" is
objectionable because it is fundamentally wrong as opposed to being at
odds with conventional terminology and nomenclature.....Isn't a sine
wave that operates as all positive voltages always yielding currents
that operate in only one direction (i.e. "direct current")? Surely you
wouldn't call this AC, would you?

Yes, your term "DC sine wave" is objectionable because it is fundamentally
wrong.

I'm sure that one of your assumptions is that AC voltages flow through a
capacitor. They do not. Now you go hit the books and discover how a
varying voltage gets from one side of a capacitor to the other. Then you
will be close to seeing your error.
