Crossing wires have to happen all of the time anyway.
Actually in workshops I like to show [timer] as an example where the hot inlet is not the leftmost inlet, when explaining that practially all other objects have their hot inlet left and why hot and cold is a crucial thing to understand. Somehow I feel, that showing the "wrong" way [timer] works helps students to understand this area of left/right, hot/cold, execution order and triggering a bit better. That feeling may be wrong of course, though I don't think it is. But that's the problem with feelings.
