Twisting new bass strings

[harvey]

Interesting point, Newt. I'll play along.

Let's add bass string twisting to: water draining in the opposite direction;
walking around upside down; and driving on the wrong side of the road. So
you're saying twist the strings in a direction best suited to the 'down-under'
location. What happens with Schaff, whose wrap direction counters the rest of
the industry? Or Yamaha, who pre-loads (tweaks, torques?) their wrap against
the core by wrapping back at the winding termination? Then, after impact, as
strings start to settle and rotate (for us) counter-clockwise to the earth's
rotation, will this negate the reverse twist, or should we stick with Plan 'A'
to be doubly sure?

I just managed to confuse myself, so it's obvious I wouldn't understand any
answers to this either!
