Default Plasterboard the wrong way around

I have just dot and dabbed a bathroom wall.

It turns out that the piece of plasterboard above the window (the bit in the
recess) is the wrong way around.

Does it really matter or should I swap it in the morning?



I once asked a plasterer about this, and he said that one side is more
absorbent than the other - and gives less time to work the plaster - but
the difference is small, and doesn't really matter. ISTR that he also
said that you use one side for skimming and the other side for Artex.
