Been thinking about this all weekend. I do agree they're not technically
chiral but I think do still have a configuration... even if it seems
redundant? This is theoretical but the closer to how InChI stereo
perception works. Although in reality you can't just invert one or two of
the stereocentres ("EscherAdamantanes"?) if you could you would have a
different configuration.
