AFAIK, ALL splitters are bidirectional. Perhaps you're confusing
splitters and amplifiers.

Not talking about amps. If splitters are bi-directional, then why do they
have one "In" and many "Out" ports?

"Lying by simplification". Simple minds shut down when exposed to
accurate (but less simple) labeling. They need it (labels) limited to
what THEY do. They do nothing else (very limited imagination) then
what they're told.

Notice that there's a "vicious cycle" here.

Simple minds lead to simple labels.
Simple labels lead to simple minds (at least in believers).
