RE: http://www.webwham.com

Just because it's in a book doesn't necessarily make it right. I think the
authors are just repeating it because that's what they read and learned in
the past.

An analogy would be the old "radial tire rotation" advice for your car. A
lot of mechanics still say you have to rotate all radials on the same side
of the vehicle (no crossing) and at one time that was true.

Not anymore.

Things change.
