Maybe, but it's also overblown - LOL ;-)  That is, no matter what the starting seed, the user will see a microscopically tiny span of the Twister's entire period.  So all those "provably correct" properties that depend on whole-period analysis remain pretty much theoretical no matter what we do.

It's just a "better safe than sorry" thing.
