but it's not because you can mess with the phases & we can't hear the 
difference, that you can affirm
"because the human ear is incapable of detecting the phase of the sine 
partials in a waveform", my audio example being an example of the contrary 
(only the phases of the sines are different).

I would call it sawtooth in a synthesizer because it talks to synthesizer 
users, but I wouldn't call it sawtooth in a technical paper
