I think what people are getting at is that the additional cost, in either performance loss or actual costs, is not worth it. The sum of that additional cost is probably substantially more than the value of the speed controllers damaged. I've been doing this for a while, and I can't recall killing a single speed controller due to reverse wiring. I understand it can be a catastrophic error, especially with a backwards battery, but it's just not a problem worth rectifying
