Not quite. Inverting polarity and changing the phase of a signal by 180 will have the same result. Try it.
*No need to try; I know it works that way. But switching polarity can only flip it 180 and no where else, not, say, 156 degree, whereas phase can happen at anytime. We all know that there are partial cancellation/addition in phase, not exactly at 180 all the time. That's the principle diff. Phase is not either or, but polarity is. That is why they came up with those definitions, so we can distinguish them correctly. By definitions polarity is a function of negative/positive in sound pressure and voltage. Phase is a function of time. They, clearly, are not related.
No, I don't mean latency as in additional delay introduced by a plugin. The delay I am referring to above is how eq's actually work.
I think you are slightly misunderstanding
.
*Latency is a synonym for delay. In telecommunications, low latency is associated with a positive user experience (UX) (this is why we preferred low latency) while high latency is associated with poor UX. In computer networking, latency is an expression of how much time it takes for a data packet (aka signals) to travel from one designated point to another.
