It wasn't without prior knowledge man. The technique is from someone with over a decade of bolting experience.

The reason was as Macca had said and I had heard that they were slightly weaker but this is only in the hypothetical upmost of extreme force to destruction. Not tested as they are actually treated in real life. With hundreds of small impacts over years.

The bolts I have been told of that have failed have all been to rotational force cracking the glue like Macca said.

I am not 100% convinced yet but am starting to err towards downwards facing.
