power cord directionality

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

Assuming it does, obviously. Or, if you have an argument that vibration doesn’t affect the signal be my guest. Share, share!

It’s the same for any cable or fuse or any wire. External vibration distorts the signal. Just like shaking a magnet 🧲 distorts the magnetic field lines. That’s why it’s always best to damp the wall outlet and suspend the power cord.
