Has anyone ever read that the 'reversals' are not true reversals becasue the 'zero-line' was arbitrarily drawn and doesn't reflect a true zero-flux state? I've seen that stated in different places. If true, that would mean that there might not be any correlation between the sun's flipping and the striping effects; rather it would just record a varying magnetic field that could be explained in other ways. I've also read that the striping is not as clear-cut as is often claimed and that there are some interpretive liberties taken to try and align them with the sun's flipping.

I Told CC about that
