philip I think in general when it comes to aesthetic quality, sure "right" and "wrong" doesn't really apply most of the time. However, if you do indeed get a softer transient let's say with polarity differences then if a metal or rock piece for example calls for "punchiness" then one would surmise that if inversing polarity helps attain the punchiness then it is part of mastering. As was mentioned before, isn't any technique that brings us the results we desire part of the process?
