Why brushes shifting method is not employed in practical commutation? Correct Answer Causes demagnetization

Brushes are located at GNA’s, a small voltage is induced in the commutating coil. It opposes current commutation as the commutating coil is cutting the flux which has the same sign as that of the pole being left behind. It could be partially remedied by shifting the brushes towards MNA but that causes direct demagnetization and is therefore not employed in practice.
