This doesn't make any sense to me.  S twist is still S twist when you 
turn it over and work from the wrong end.  Same for Z twist.  So how 
does *twist* cause problems if you start using the wrong end?  I had 
heard that (at least some) threads have a nap to them, and *that* 
caused problems if you worked from the wrong end, but twist?
