Okay, I wasn't thinking of it in those terms.

I think I was thinking in terms of "red portals vs blue portals", in which case there isn't a difference.

But it's also about how you perceive the portals working.

Now that you point it out, yes - the back portals are "in portals" and the sides are "out portals", at least for the purposes of this fight.

But I was thinking of it in terms that "what goes in one portal comes out the other", and they are a linked pair that perform the same function. We just only see it going one way because the birds only start from that one direction.

If they came from the side, they could go in the side portal and go out the back. We just don't see it happen.

I'm not saying I'm right and you're wrong for correcting me, but that's how I was perceiving it at the time and why I said they're the same.
