===========
I realize this discussion is kinda pointless and not worth prolonging, but
nonetheless... it seems that if both speakers go in and out at the same
time, the resulting sound waves would be in phase; whereas if one speaker
goes out when the other goes in, the sound waves would be considered to be
out of phase (i.e. the compressions and the rarefactions would cancel). So
at least in the case of a pair of speakers sitting side-by-side and fed
with the same audio, switching the so-called "polarity" of one would indeed
change its phase relative to the other by 180 deg.
