There's no evidence that formations affect shelling evasion. Any suggestion that it affects torpedo evasion is also tenuous at best. The reason why the Line Abreast evasion myth gets passed on is because people try it and when it works, attributes it to the formation when they would likely have passed in any other configuration.
