I don't need to make a case, I only stating a FACT. And another FACT is that there don't exist three types of rotations, there is only one: the rotation of each page. The fact that there are multiple ways to affect this one piece of data does not change this fact. If you want a reason for these FACTS, then try to argue with Adobe. Everybody is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts.
