Hm, reasonable precision. Seems like the norm is about +5 degrees rotation yaw (if you think of the flaxseed as a little boat with the pointy tip forward). The chips I took pictures of weren't chosen for their compliance; they were just the largest ones left in the bag. I did see some rotated around 180 degrees, so that the seed was facing exactly backward. I guess this suggests something about the cornmeal glop travelling in one direction, or something like that. I saw I think three seeds overall that were oriented perpendicular to the others. However, I didn't exactly sort through the whole bag. I kind of ate it.
