Default RE: OVER-Spined?

Here's what I'm thinking....I don't know this as fact, but to me, it seems logical. Thinking out loud here.............

An arrow HAS to flex upon release. It has no choice really. TOO much flex and the fletching has to work too hard to correct the flight.....hence, erradic arrow flight. Too LITTLE flex and it would want to flip the arrow over, yes?? Again, forcing the fletching to work overtime to correct it. I always get this part confused, I can't remember if underspined makes a left or a right tear....bear w/ me here....

But that's why if an arrow is underspined, you get a left/right tear, and if it's OVERspined you get a right/left tear...(whichever it is for a right handed shooter).........Sooooooo, logically, that problem would be amplified w/ the addition of a fixed blade broadhead, yes??
