Well I guess I saw you getting confused by phase measurements. You said the more in phase the sounds got the more mono they sounded. I was trying to point out why.
The mono fold down thing is just a relic from the days when there was a chance your stereo mixes would get folded down into mono. It seems to be still taught to many mixers to this day that you should "mono check" your mixes. I don't see it as useful and I don't think all mixers understand what they are actually doing to there mixes by making sure things line up in phase. To put it simply If you are grouping everything at the same panning position you might want the sounds in phase but if you are using a stereo mic you will need a phase difference.
