Ever since flashlights started to get bright, I started to demand that they tail-stand -- if they wanted to seal the deal for reception of all of my heart's affection, that is. Upon waking up in a half-dazed phase, however, it occurred to me that I've never met a flashlight that couldn't side-stand, and upon further analysis I had to ask myself, "Is a flashlight's ability to shine on the ceiling really all that superior to its ability to shine on the wall?" I surprised myself because I knew I had asked myself the same question before and come to a different conclusion. For some reason, though, this time I had to say "No. It's really not all that superior." Surely you'll be able to think of some scenarios in which tail-standing presents a slightly more convenient or "Wow!"-response-inducing case, but from a practical standpoint (that same standpoint that prompts some of you to think tint and construction trump output and number-of-functions), can't we just go ahead and make it official that side-standing is the new tail-standing?
