In short:
The "position meter" in PAZ is an indicator, claiming objectivity in a purely subjective situation, potentially misleading, and no analysis tool.
It is
impossible to make a measurement for perceived position in a stereo image.
In audio there are only two basic parameters that matter before the psychoacoustical processing:
-time
-level
only a tool that measures those or it's derivates (phase, frequency...) is an analysis tool.
