Be careful with such assertions. Provided your mic captures the
*full* 2nd order information of some subset of all directions
(at the expense of other directions) then you can encode this
into correct 2nd order signals.

For example if you have correct 2nd order horizontal signals
you can compute the missing ones *assuming all sources are
in the horizontal plane*.

But if you use some capsule layout that has no preferred
directions (in other words if you try to be full-sphere 2nd
order, e.g. a cube or something similar) the result with 8
capsules will be that you don't have full 2nd order info in
*any* direction, and any attempt to obtain correct 2nd order
signals (by linear processing) will fail.
