Question on phase

Okay, in one of my audio classes there's this real ****** bag that talks like he knows everything about everything audio. Funny how this same guy, this time last year, thought RADAR was lagging during a punch because the red highlighting on the track wasn't in the exact same spot as the punch. It took me about ten minutes of arguing to try to get him to understand that RADAR's screen is an aid; listen for it and see if the punch sounds wrong.

Anyway, I've been unable to shirk his existence, and he remains in my audio classes. There have been many occasions this semester where we'll hear something gone awry in a particular track (a singular track), and he'll jump in with, "Oh, there must be some phase issues there..."

Am I wrong in thinking that for there to be phase issues multiple tracks must be involved? He makes this comment nearly weekly, and it'd be great to actually KNOW that he doesn't know what he's talking about. Or perhaps I'm just an ass... that's a possibility too.
