There is another reason as well. It makes it *harder* to cinch the leads
before soldering.

I'll add one more good reason.  I have even avoided the very cheap lead
bender and still resort to hand bending.  I do this for the same reason, I
play music and ride my motorcycle 50 MHP on 2 lane roads -- Therapy!!  This
old world moves too fast at work these days.  So, I find I want MOTM time to
move slow and easy.  Bending my own leads is a part of that.  Did I mention
I check every resistor with my meter?  Did I mention I stop about every 10
solder joints to clip the leads and inspect the connection top and bottom
with a jewelers eyeglass?  what do you call them thangs anyhow?  loups?

Slow down gents and enjoy the fumes.
