Unless there is significant stupidly-done bufferbloat, where the "insignificant amount of control traffic in the 
opposite direction" is delayed because the big blocks of the upload are causing a traffic jam in the upstream pipe.

Which has nothing at all to do with the asymmetry of the circuit at all.  Buffer bloat is an issue in and of itself.  I 
agree it can be an issue it just has nothing to do with the symmetry argument.  In my opinion, it is just a reaction to 
customers who never want to see a packet lost but not understanding what the cost of that is.
