Yes (you're wrong).

Depending on the size of the capacitor, the size of the load and the 
frequency, you will lose more or less of the harmonics. If the capacitor 
is in series, it will charge the first time the switch is closed, 
discharge through the termination load when the switch is open, then 
recharge when the switch is closed again. It will pass a signal which 
will more or less accurately represent a square wave.
