You might want to look up the actual meaning of wordshttp://history.sandiego.edu/GEN/recording/stereo.html
1916 - Harvey Fletcher joined the Research Division of Western Electric Engineering Dept to work with Irving Crandall on hearing and speech, was director of acoustic research at Bell Labs 1927-49, built the Western Electric Model 2A hearing aid and a binaural headset in the 1920's, published the widely-read book Speech and Hearing in 1929 that analyzed the characteristics of sound. Fletcher would lead much of the research on binaural, or what later would be called "stereophonic" sound recording, at Bell Labs.Binaural is a subset of stereo. To say Binaural isn't stereo is like saying Blumelein isn't stereo or thre track mixed down to two track isn't stereo. If it is played back in two channels it is stereo.
