But even if not used for avoding I/S, it can be used to pick whether
to invert the phases, where it was clearly more stable.

The spike will be very audible though, and it should be ok if it
dominates. I don't remember any case where it was mistaken when I was
testing.

Do you have a sample that exhibits this?
