power cord directionality


IF power cords do indeed have preferred directionality, and one is inadvertently flipped for a few hours, does it "harm"it?

So let me understand. are you saying vibration can have a negative effect  on how electrons flow? If you shake/vibrate any wire enough, it is possible to change the position of an electron?

In my opinion vibration can have an adverse effect on a connection point of a wire.

example: if you have a low quality outlet the physical connection between the plug and outlet may not solid enough and you may have arcing. Also the more valuable precious metals used in the plating (gold/silver) may offer higher conductivity.

Now I wonder why was it even bothered to be labeled since it only connects one way..... (?)

Audiogon's self-proclaimed reigning theoretical physicist, explains how vibration affects the signal:
Shirley you jest, mc. It’s the same for any cable or fuse or any wire. External vibration distorts the signal. Just like shaking a magnet.


jea48 wonders, How, exactly, does that work? 
geoffkait: I was kind of hoping you could tell me. Just a gut feeling? Oh, well, that’s the way it goes sometimes.


Then his specialty, the word salad:
By the way Poynting angles are not (rpt not) incompatible with the idea of vibration distorting the signal in cables and wires.

Captain Irrelevant strikes (out) again.
