I think I was told, at one time, that poly was both sides, and mono was single sided. My memory could be off (affected by over 12 years of neurontin & lyrica) but that's what I think I was told. That doesn't mean that the person who told me wasn't mis-informed on the subject.

No biggie. I wasn't sure myself, and it looks like I was misguided as well, so I looked it up.

I don't think you were in-correct; some of these definitions are so broad that many interpretations would be valid.
