That is correct.
A starting Dis-charge is a fast chemical reaction process over a short time interval at very high current flow.
The process has to be reversed but at a very low charge current rate.
An Alternator cannot charge at that rate for three reasons.
1. Charge voltage at say 15.5 volts times 100 amps = 1550 watts.
2. A battery cannot be charges at that rate without overheating it.
3. The Alternator cannot run at that rate without burning up as it was not designed to do so along with engine bay heat.
Two miles won't do it over and over again over a long time frame and result is less that normal battery life.
The motor won't even get up to temperature long enough to drive out crank case vapors, properly.
The OP is too quick on assumptions for many things, it appears.
