That may be, but it doesn't appear to have worn off on you.

It depends. Generally it is far cheaper and easier not to.

Syncing 2 generators,

Phase should match, Frequency should match, and of course,voltage, power and current.

No, not current, and therefore not power either.

You must strike the word "should" and substitute "must", then drop power and current as Crabtree has said.

Now tell us, how are you going to know when the phase, frequency, and voltage all match? And do you even know if these generators are capable of being synced? A mistake will be deadly.
