Plus, I don't measure out and cut a length of thread and then thread the needle. Who does that? I stick the end in the needle, pull the needle away while holding onto the thread, and when it's the length (doubled) I want, I cut it. Isn't that normal? Does it it really make enough difference to totally change the way I thread a needle?
Hmm, using a doubled thread, one of the two strands will always be going the opposite direction to the other anyway. So which end you thread first couldn't possibly matter.
