There are people reading these forums who don't know some computers will silently accommodate either cable.
If some know enough to even vaguely understand the difference between a normal cable and a crossover cable, and they read that you MUST use a crossover cable, yet they know that they used a normal cable and it worked, then they are confused.
I just like to provide, when I can, information that might enable those confused people to say "Ah, that's why I was able to get away with doing so-and-so when everyone said it wouldn't work unless I did such-and-such".
