Actually in workshops I like to show [timer] as an example where the
hot inlet is not the leftmost inlet, when explaining that practially
all other objects have their hot inlet left and why hot and cold is a
crucial thing to understand. Somehow I feel, that showing the "wrong"
way [timer] works helps students to understand this area of
left/right, hot/cold, execution order and triggering a bit better.  

That feeling may be wrong of course, though I don't think it is. But
that's the problem with feelings.

Ciao
