On the modern BC pendant sets, I find that the round double-insulated cords take quite a time to straighten out properly after installation, unless they have a heavy fixture hanging on them.
Yes, it does, but have you ever taken down a piece of the old fabric covered two core during a rewire and noticed how the wire retains it's straight form after it has been hanging down for many years?. [Linked Image]
