AlphaQuest Twist??

I came across the below/attached on the AlphaQuest site. Bi-wiring arguments aside this seems like it would put speakers out of phase. Certainly I've never heard of it before in all my years.... Thoughts anyone??

"When using a single set of full range cables with a BiWirable speaker, you might as well do it properly … it costs nothing and makes a difference you can hear. When using jumpers (factory supplied or replacements), be sure to put both red and black connectors to the treble input of a 3-way or panelhybrid. Bass is less sensitive to having the jumpers in the signal path.

For 2-way speakers, be sure to put the red connector to treble + and black
connector to bass -. This is the only way to preserve the tonal voice the
speaker designer intended."

Aas long as you have jumpers connecting the two terminals as in the diagram it doesn't matter to which connector the feed goes.
 
^Yup, all negatives connected to the black wire and all positives connected to the red wire. Doesn’t matter if it goes to the HF first, the LF first, half HF/half LF. It’s all electrically the same with the jumper there.
 
Yeah. I've read a lot of snake oil over the years but this took the cake; I couldn't believe I was reading it right.
