IMO, pan-potting ends simply to move stuff across the soundstage, but doesn't "create" a sense of space or depth. Seems consistent with the idea that altering the balance control of your preamp doesn't (or shouldn't) alter inter-channel delays.I think Jon is alluding to slightly more sophisticated "pseudo-stereo" than simply using a pan-pot. If not, his statement does seem self-contradicting.
On the other hand, think about a classic Blumlein arrangement; 2 mics at (let's say) 90 degrees, almost coincident. The amplitude differences are pretty small, as are the timing differences, but it is enough to create a VERY convincing sense of both width and depth.
We're obviously pretty sensitive to this, so I wonder what the threshold of audibility is?
