Agreed, what can I do but thank you for making a point
I would have let rest, I agree that ORTF is thus defined
and that ORFT is only that setup, wherefore I prefer to
use the term XY also for spaced cardioids. Most people
however do nowadays use the term ORTF as a wording for "any
pair of cardioids on a short bar and with any inclusiv angle".

It's bad practice to smear terminology. Then, nobody is
quite sure what anybody is talking about.

No contest, what term do you then think should be used?

"Near-coincident" is pretty widely used for this family of positions.

Peace,
Paul
