Learn and use a VOR the way it was designed: as an instrument which
tells you your *position*, *not* your course line, and you'll never
have a problem with reverse sensing.


No, with one exception, it does not tell you your position. That single
exception is when you overfly the antenna. Then, you may presume the antenna
is some altitude dependent radius from the nadir. Otherwise, the only thing
the VOR will tell you is BEARING from the station.
