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
