Motivated by the form of recent theoretical results, a quantitative test for an important dynamical particle-hole asymmetry of the electron spectral function at low energies and long wavelengths is proposed. The test requires the decomposition of the angle resolved photo emission intensity, after a specific Fermi symmetrization, into odd and even parts to obtain its ratio R. A large magnitude R is implied in recent theoretical fits at optimal doping around the chemical potential, and I propose that this large asymmetry needs to be checked more directly and thoroughly. This processing requires a slightly higher precision determination of the Fermi momentum relative to current availability.
