Possibly there may be some similarities. Certainly the polar plots of
shotgun mics are also interestingly irregular.

I contend the way you find the fairytales is to get the equipment and
test it in actual nature recording. Nothing cuts through explanations
that are too complex or too simplistic like actual recordings. How the
equipment performs in actual recording is what's important, not our
feeble attempts to describe it in words.
