Tightening coils on sloppy restringing

[Wimblees@AOL.COM]

I am not advocating, or defending a sloppy stringing job, but here's 
something I want to throw out of disucssion. 

I was told once that the way a string is coiled around a pin has no effect on 
the tuning stability of that string. This does NOT include a loose becket, or 
untight coil. I am talking about wires that cross over each other. Anideas on 
this?

The other aspect of this post is the coils against the plate. Again, it is 
not a good way to do it, but what is the effect of a coil down on a the plate?
