You are wrong -- dead wrong. Telephone circuits are balanced; that explains their inherent noise immunity. Perhaps you are being confused by the fact that there are a number of ways to implement a balanced circuit. The broadcast audio gear manufacturers Aphex, Jensen (transformers), and Rane all provide excellent tutorials on balancing which are available freely on their web sites. And the balanced telephone circuit goes back to the very beginning of telephony, before AT&T came into existence. You need to check your facts before you make an assertion.
