Try sampling a 100Hz sine wave at 200Hz, the plotting the results... it's not going to look much like a sine wave. If you logged a fuel injector its operating frequency, the indicated duty cycles would always be 0%, 50% or 100%... Personally I'd like to at least know +/-10%.
You're right. I forgot the word 'least' after at.
