Nikolas Tesla invented it long ago.  Just because it isn't used for
mains *now* doesn't mean he can't know what it is.

Also, it's what stepper motors use, and we encounter those every day.

Also, he didn't mention "mains" in that follow-up.

Also, replying to pedantry with jackassery is lame.
(whereas the opposite is just plain fun ;-)
