There's no point loading silverware upright in the dishwasher

Like most people I was taught to load silverware handle downwards in the dishwasher. After doing so my whole life I met someone who swore its should be done handle upward. That's when I realized it doesn't matter bc it gets clean either way. Now I just dump it all in the silverware holder any which way, and sort it when I unload. It makes loading much faster and easier and does not have any downside I can see.
