This is again a game of words.
Most stereo recordings are made to be reproduced by two speakers,
seen by the listener at an angle of 60 to 90 degrees, and such that
the signals from either speaker reach both ears. That is the way it
is supposed to work. There is a solid theory behind this. Calling
this 'crosstalk (a term which has a negative connotation as a defect
of audio equipment), and the cure 'crosstalk cancellation' amounts to
gross intellectual dishonesty. The signals you find on the vast majority
of stereo records are _not_ meant to be delivered one-to-one to the ears.
And people listen to the same stuff via headphones?
As this seems to work, XTC can't be SO wrong.

P.S.:

I don't say this light-hearted, but I doubt this! Stereo is everything
which works more or less...
