Here, we study how well these two mechanisms can be distinguished if non-zero TB/EB correlations are found. To do so, we evaluate the correlation matrix, including new TB-EB covariances. We find that the effects of these two mechanisms on the CMB are highly orthogonal, and can thus be distinguished fairly well in case of a high--signal-to-noise detection of TB/EB correlations.
