You are 100% wrong. From "The IEEE Dictionary":
"common-mode (1)(general) The instantaneous algebraic
average of two signals applied to a balanced circuit,
both signals referred to a common reference."

The "instantaneous algebraic average of two signals"
180 degrees out of phase is ZERO.

So that means I get 0 volts when I touch one side of the 120V in my
electrical service to the 120V other side? I was afraid I might see
240V.
