There is a lot missing from this article. First, it is
triodes alone that generate pleasing 2nd harmonic
distortion. Pentodes generate odd harmonics just as much
as transistors do.

It is a myth that triodes generate only even harmonics. In fact, tubes have
basically exponential response, which leads to the generation of a wide
variety of orders of distortion, both odd and even.
