Folks, in case you care to learn the truth of the matter, AC Polarity is the subject of Chapter 7.5, pages 63-66. Its connection to acoustic polarity is established there too. That Romy should so boldly assert otherwise, leads me to think that there must be some pages missing in his copy; I must alert the publisher.
I do have a copy of your book and if you insist I can open and read it. I do not recall that you discuss the subject of AC Polarity in there and if you did then you were wrong.
 
CJ  I insist on nothing but accuracy in your portrayals to others. The facts otherwise speak for themselves.

The AC polarity has absolutely no relation to absolute acoustic polarity.
 
CJ  Do you think you're righter about that than you were about what's in my own book? lol

Take one single integrated with power amp with amp CD player (or plug the whole system in one single power strip) and measure the acoustic polarity. Then revere the AC polarity on this CD player (or power strip). You will see that the acoustic polarity will not change. The acoustic polarity is a relationship between the phase of acoustic system and listening environment and it absolutely has no relation to AC polarity. I know that you will be arguing the acoustic polarity now but, Clark, this thread is about electricity. Les separate apples from oranges. 

CJ  Thanks for the lecture on material I've been closely acquainted with for thirty years. But please don't try to dodge the issue, viz., that you erroneously said AC plug polarity has "nothing to do with The Wood Effect". There were three pages therein that addressed the topic, including how it's convolved with acoustic polarity. And it is about electricity.

CJ  I think Bud's note offers great insight on how this stuff can go wrong, code aside.
