Your statement is correct - if one indeed adapts the notion that channel separation is important for stereo.

I would also not even bother swapping the channels, as any gain difference is not going to affect the signal leakage measurements much at all, and can be corrected later by using balance pots if needed.

As far as trying toachieve the lowest/equal, I would probably shoot for some ill-defined "combined lowest". Equal would be nice, but may not be the best approach. One channel may have a worse fundamentally lowest achievable leakage (due to its magnetic pole geometry imperfections, or whatever else) so it would not be proper to penalise the other "good" channel by actually increasing its leakage to the "bad" channel's limited potential.

Anyway, all these are more of an "proceed with your eyes open" type of recommendations, not some universally right rules. Given the same basic information different people may proceed differently. I simply want people to understand what is happening deep down there...
