True, if you believe that rectification is the culprit here.  I however, do not.
Richard Hull's explanation of the damped sinusoid's DC component is more likely, IMO.
Flipping the primary phasing should change the induced polarity if this is correct.
So far, R. Hull says that it does, and R. Wall says that it does not.
