RE: Film Capacitor Orientation Question

If it doesn't matter, help me understand then why the videos showing film capacitors connected to an oscilloscope show an induced signal larger in one direction than another when the test leads are switched. I actually can see this when my caps are connected to a scope. Is this test not representative of actual circuit conditions?

Since I could install the caps either way, can I test resistance on either side of the cap to ground with a DVM to determine the lower impedance point?

I really appreciate your help here. Thanks.
