Hi Matt,
Before I respond to this thread I must admit I had been secretly hoping that someone
who had attended my presentation at the recent IceInSpace Astro Camp on
"Busting the Myth of the Perfect Polar Alignment" may have chimed in.
Alas, as I feared, they must have all fallen asleep.

Brendan, I sense from the question mark at the end of the sentence that you
may be uncertain as to the statement's validity. No problem in making an educated
guess.
Unfortunately it is not entirely correct.
However, if anyone who happened to attend my talk would care to politely explain
why it is not correct, I will then know I got the message out to at least one person!
We raised this very point in the presentation, so any takers?
