Wrong. Wav is a container format, which can contain compressed or uncompressed audio. The compressed stuff may be lossy or not. And... anyone could add at any time a new format so even if lossy compression wasn't allowed now (though it is, you can have mp3 data in .wav files) that doesn't mean it can't happen in future. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WAV -- Jeremy Nicoll - my opinions are my own.
