Phase is a time thing. If you slide one waveform on a time line by half an oscilation cycle, you have rotated the phase by 180°. You have not changed the absolute polarity.

i bet if you mix the two signals in the Polarity.wav or in the Picture above they will cancel out just as two phases of the same signal at 180°. If absolute polarity is not phase, and not mesured in degrees, than how can you mesure it ?
ps - when i'll get home i'll mix the tow signal to see what happens
