Do you have to math fletching spin direction to Single bevels?

"Match" no "math"
Here is the video I did showing what happens when you dont match (and do match) the fletching spin to the single bevel (left hand or right hand)

The first test makes a lot of sense to me - increased spin through the tissue would be scrubbing more energy, so it make sense the mis-matched arrow with less spin through the tissue would penetrate more... but the second test doesn’t make sense.
Part of me favors the idea of mis-matching, as the spin of the arrow - its rotational inertia - would work against the bevel, putting more resistance into the cut against the tissue. Alternatively, part of me acknowledges that “working with a knife instead of against it” does cut smoothly.
