RE: Fuses and ALTERNATING Current

Respectfully, there isn't an elephant in the room. I think it's more like:

We all get the fact that the current alternates - no one is disputing that. But what the dogmatists seem to not understand is that some of us, depending on the aftermarket fuse and the piece of equipment it's used in, consistently have a preference for one fuse orientation over the other.

In some cases, again depending on the particular fuse and the unit it's used in, there is no preference for one orientation over the other - it sounds the same either way.

Could we maybe put this to rest and move on?

Yeah, except when you remove a fuse and put it back opposite you're not changing its orientation. :)
You're changing its physical orientation, but not its electrical orientation.
This seems to confound some. I suggest to think about it further.
Calling those of us pointing out the basic electrical properties of this usage "dogmatists" is lazy rhetoric.
Remember, if the proof of your evaluation is subjective in nature only, then you haven't proven anything.......and any labels like "dogma" should be left on the sidelines.

  To me....and I certainly could be 100% wrong, the word 'Dogma' has religious conotations......

    It may have that connotation to you but it isn't what the word denotes.
    
    dog·ma
    /ˈdôɡmə/
    
    a principle or set of principles laid down by an authority as incontrovertibly true.
    "the rejection of political dogma"
