This has already been addressed by others, but just wanted to make very clear that this statement is somewhat misleading in being kind of the wrong way around. What Nyquist-Shannon states is that you can reproduce *any* signal, whatever the shape, as long as it bandwidth-limited to half the sample rate. The closer a signal gets to the bandwidth limit, the closer it resembles a sine wave. So it's not "the bandwidth limit only works for sine waves" but "any bandwidth-limited signal starts to resemble a sine wave as we approach the bandwidth limit".
