I don't think that's not true. Air pressure from a sound cannot be asymmetrical for long periods. That would equal that the air will move preponderantly in one direction, to create a constant pressure front, like the wind. Recordings will have DC component. Ear drum would stay "pressed in" while listening.
If you don't think it's not true, then you think it's true.
Or you made a mistake in grammar or typing, and think it's not true that absolute phase is important.
If so, it's already been proven that the sound waves CAN be asymmetrical. It may not be for long periods (not many troughs or peaks of a sine wave ARE for long periods), but it has been proven to exist. This means it is potentially audible under the right circumstances.
Can't argue against that.
