Let's see what happens when we use that same logic with my
AC wall sockets:

If the instantaneous AC voltage at my QTH is ever
non-zero, then the average voltage cannot be zero.

Agree? Disagree?

Agree with what? That it is the same logic? You will have to
expand on your question.

Regardless, the average voltage is zero.

Keith;

Put your fingers across the bare wires and then tell me the results, if
you are still around that is. ;^)

The average of a sine wave is 0. Positive half the time,
negative half the time, sums to 0.

Perhaps you are confusing average with root-mean-square?
