Distortion... why/how is it created?

No, a pure sine wave can only have integer harmonics. With a 1KHz pure
sinewave input, 2KHz is the next lowest frequency distortion component you
will ever see, no matter what.
Playing the child's voice... "why?"
I do understand the definition of a harmonic is an integer multiple,
but throwing away terminology for a moment, I do not understand why
distortion is always manifested in integer harmonics.
Is it just a mathematial fact, or a physics fact, or something else...
?
And thanks for your Wiki link, I'll look into that and follow its
links, also.
