The subsequent discussion has generated quite a bit of misinformation.

In reference to your other thoughts about the possible uniqueness of the median plane, I would encourage you to familarize yourself with the concept of the "cone of confusion".

Don't be condescending.

The median plane is a unique limit of the cone-of-confusion, and yes I knew the concept. The caption under Fig.2.47 in Blauerts book (yes I know that it is in English, I have a copy) says nothing to refute my claim that this data only applies to sources in the median plane. Perhaps this is why it is in the chapter entitled "Evaluating Identical Ear Input Signals", with "One Sound Source" I should add - not very relevent to the current discussion. In fact its not very relavent to sterophony at all.

I now remember why I don't talk about "work stuff" on an internet forum.
