I think I did it to be mean. at one time most mechanics didn't know you could do that. they would pull the wires out of the cap for whatever reason and then put them back by the book and then the motor wouldn't fire, boy they would get mad. that's the reason I got in the habit of checking for TDC, because I might have been the last one to work on it.
