Oct 29, 2018 at 21:15 comment added user126920 @Dirk I would say no, because the symmetry between $f$ and $g$ only holds when "the boundedness of linear functionals on $L^p$ comes down to whether $fg\in L^1$" is true in both directions.
Oct 29, 2018 at 20:07 comment added Dirk Doesn't this also convince us that $L^1$ is reflexive?
