That's what I usually tell folks who can't tell the difference. As I said, I couldn't either for the longest time. Then when the Gallos "allowed" me to hear the difference, it was kinda fun for a while to listen and try to hear which was which, bearing in mind that many (most?) disks and tapes are in mixed polarity where the recording engineer didn't bother keeping things straight. Or intentionally played games during or after the fact.
It's a learned thing, after you hear it the first times. You come to hear the difference between the way your tenor sax sounds when it blows. As opposed to when it sucks. No offense.
Now that I've reverted back to the oldest Gallos ("Ultimates," circa 1996) my own ability to discern polarity changes has diminished a lot. This is either old age or the way the 4-ball Ultimates are wired -- at one point going from positive to negative between balls 2 and 3. I still think I can tell the difference but maybe I'm fooling myself.
In any case, except for the extreme examples (e.g., certain DGs), it's a very minor thing and not worth worrying about.
