If one studies operation of the two wire Beverage, the only effect of
reversing the two wire line would be in phase of signals arriving from
the feed end.  That would imply that polarity of the two wire line
would only matter when attempting to phase two wire beverages - e.g,
parallel or staggered (echelon) configurations.
