Who, me?

What have I said that was "irrelevant"? Every word out of my mouth here has addressed the topic. There were no insults like "irrelevant".

As for who wrote the book, it would be more accurate to say that I assembled it (quite exhaustively) from sources -- of which there were well over 80 at the time in JASA, JAES, Re/p, Audio, Wireless World, IEEE Transactions on Audio, Mix and such. I used those to aduce my case, combined with some of my own original research. Did you know? Only one of the authors denied absolute polarity; the rest were firmly behind the concept. And did you know the first report came from Harvard, way back in 1952?

It's all quite interesting, perhaps you should read the book.

I started this thread to hear how often other ME's checked for absolute polarity - not to start a moronic discussion questioning absolute polarity as a phenomenon or whether we can check and control it.
Far be it from me to "question absolute polarity as a phenomenon". As to "whether we can check and control it", of course we can!

We just simply don't.
