>I agree that a ct might be the best practical solution to real-world problems, but I do not agree that it is a necessity for the transformer to be a differential device.

It's worse than that. The CT provides a third current path on the winding, which means equal and opposite currents at the two ends of the transformer are no longer ensured. Consider that when the two ends are equal and opposite, there is no signal voltage at the CT. It is an electrical null at the midpoint of the two ends of the winding. On that basis, any signal current whatsoever flowing through the CT indicates that the winding has becomed unbalanced.
