Then what is your problem ?
Do you claim that such cases don't exist ?
I never did! I _unambiguous_ pointed out that I agree with Jörn. Regarding the pan pots, what exactly is beyond
completely to the
right and completely to the left?
You can decrease stereo width by moving the panpots on L and R
towards the center. This is equivalent to reducing the S gain
of an M/S signal. To increase width you'd boost the S signal.
That would correspond to turning the panpots beyond full L and R.

that rare cases.
Clearly you haven't.
I've done a lot of recording using a main stereo pair (and any
number of spot mics as required), and I've used some form of
M/S processing on *almost all* of them.
For example, in many cases I'd have preferred supercardioids
for the main pair, but I only had cardioids available. A few
dB gain on S turns those into supercardioids (with a slightly
higher angle between them).
Of course that's very different from the type of music that
William is making, but if M/S based processing is useful for
his workflow I don't see any reason why he shouldn't use it.
