RE: your statement still isn't logical.

I'm not twisting anything. I have been told many times I take things too literally.

Sorry, you said Class B amps don't have to have zero crossing distortion and I just showed you many examples of so called Class AB amps that have crossover distortion.This would imply that basically all Class B amps have this because that is simply how transistors behave.

The conclusion in the above statement isn't supported by its opening sentence. In addition to that I see you are qualifying it now by this comment:
I never said all AB amps.
That is true, where your argument falls apart is this conclusion:

I said even a lot of AB amps have zero crossing distortion, so reduce that bias current further to get Class B and they will always have zero crossing distortion.

Your comment here takes the form of a logical 'If then' statement; 'so' being the 'if' and 'and' being the 'then'.

The logical failure is the assumption that somehow because some AB amps have this problem (which I pointed out earlier is either a setup or design flaw and isn't inherent to class AB) then all class B amps will have a zero crossing problem, despite the fact I showed two that do not.

What you are not taking into account is that a designer of a class B amp might have a solution to prevent crossover distortion. Your assumption seems to be that such solutions don't exist, despite examples that belie your position.
