It seems to me that when a valve turns, one side (regardless of which side) will turn with the flow of air and the opposite side will turn into the airstream. So, with my very limited knowledge on anything, I suspect that if there is something to having valves turn the same way, it's because the air would not be interrupted as much by not having to "weave" around the openings in each of the valves. I'm going back to my hole now, for I have no idea what I"m talking about. But then again when a valve opens, doesn't each side open the same amount at the same time? If so, then there really wouldn't be much of a difference, if any, to account for. OK, now you guys are making my head hurt...OW!! Need.....more.....beer.
