Coyote:

Like mentioned in the other post (now deleted), I can see both sides of the issue. The explanations that you, Combie aand others are suggesting could very well be valid ones.

I just don't see CM an intentional "flosser".

The theory that the DN slides through the water, the long leader enters the fishes mouth...followed by the DN...fish-on. Yes, that does sound like flossing..so the theory would be fact, and with the added confusion that the DN IS in the fishes mouth, the non-intentional flosser would not ever know they did such a thing.

Sorry for the "tone" of the other post. I guess sometimes I come across stronger than I intend to.
