Adam,
It's not two points. It's an infinite sequence of samples T/2
apart. That is, Nyquist's theorem is about steady state. This
infinite sequence of evenly spaced samples unambiguously identifies
a signal if the signal has all components below 1/T in frequency.
Try finding more than one sinewave through the points
A*sin(2*pi*F*n*T/2) where F < 2/T and n=1,2,3,....
Hope that helps.
Regards,
Mike
