Default Screwing Down Backerboad for Tile... (Rant)

In article ,
says...
Yep, Dot side up.

Still PIA to put the Screws in. Even if on the dot...


After drilling pilot holes for a bathroom-and-a-half, laundry, and
a couple of closets, I tried just screwing the "backer-on" screws
in directly. I had a few that didn't sink all the way (used a
spackling knife to "feel" for the heads and had to replace them.
It went pretty yeasy, except when I was a little out of position
and the driver slipped; nice blood blister on my left index finger.
