...and MY point was that the "Average" of the voltage means nothing when
it comes to the effective amount of work done by it. The only way to get
this is by using rms clculations.

"effective" voltage number by averaging it to get the "effective"
voltage, is a square wave, or strauight DC, or changing DC which changes
as if it were a square wave(very quick transitions from voltage to
voltage).

Any periodic waveform that is always positive will work if you average
it, it can vary quickly or slowly.

My point was to illustrate what RMS represents, that's all.

Another point is that you can calculate an expression for the RMS for
any periodic waveform, either from the mathematical expression for the
waveform or even from a scope trace (if you can be bothered) you just
root the mean square :)
