I'm not saying that it is the reason why, just that it can't hurt to have something like a net every now and then.
Indeed. Personally I find the Split > Slug > Split > Clean > Slug > Clean method described in the OP is more interesting/fun than the standard 1-2-3. As the OP also states it makes no difference to pps either way.
