I had to transcribe it, I will see if I still have the original, if so will edit it.Hola @MaxHeadRoom
The .pdf I downloaded lacks most of the figures which are crucial to the subject.

Try something... Ignore, erase, delete the connection to earth from the transformer secondary centre tap on post #4.
It does not exist now. Your motor, heater, stereo, whatever is still connected to the points marked "+" and central tap.
Everything works the same. The planet under your shoes is not conducting anything. You can still visualize your push-pull on those terminals, right ?
Ummm... Point of order, AC doesn't have + & - polarity except in reference to its Y-axis V Amplitude as it crosses it's Time X-axis as a sinusoidal wave. Just to throw in some of those nonsensical terms that add to the confusion.

"Grunting"? Were you hearing it? With all this technological advancement I wouldn't be surprised. But it wasn't me, it must have been some sort of interference from some other source. Possibly cosmic microwave background?.Without language, we would not be able to communicate. Pointing and grunting will not get you very far as a civilization.
This almost feels like mental telepathy. I stumbled on this website like around 4 months ago. No wonder I sensed and related to the crux of what you were saying. I feel right at home.Study this for a while: http://amasci.com/miscon/eleca.html#cflow

Well by golly, from the looks of things; ground/neutral/guywire/return, it is all the Earth itself.
That is in fact what happens. The Neutral Bus in your panel is connected to a Ground Rod that is driven into the earth... The same as the center-tapped Neutral at the transformer on the pole outside. It would be very messy to have a Ground Rod for each individual receptacle. Not to mention expensive.I wonder why it won't work. Why wouldn't it work if I used a piece of wire, secure one end to an outlet and the other end of the wire right in the dirt down below and bury it 3 feet just to make a good secure connection?
Just added up, in a nutshell, stay on one side or the other side of a load and you will be fine,That is in fact what happens.

That is how the earth connection is often done, in the absence of a metallic water main, two 6ft ground rods are driven in, you still require the pole transformer itself to have a grounded neutral, however.

I guess my white wire turns to the bare wire after the weather head and it goes directly to the center tap on the transformer if you notice on the picturesThat is in fact what happens.

It would be very messy to have a Ground Rod for each individual receptacle. Not to mention expensive.
How is your neutral grounded at the service panel? Water main or ground rods?I guess my house being old, doesn't have the third wire ground fault at my end.
I don't believe the 7200v primary is grounded, the secondary C.T. has a conductor to earth as the ground reference.
Normally the ground resistance from your panel GND back to the transformer GND should be 5ohms or less.
I have a transformer pad mounted, and that one has a grounded CT right at the transformer itself.
