yes of course! if there was a standard about polarity* it would be the first thing to check. I'm not reasoning if it's wrong or not, I just say it does not have any practical meaning today. It´s a really interesting phenomen that I put a lot of time and effort to understand.
*even in the loudspeaker domain that is.
