The court stenographer's read-back confirms that I used the word "some",
rather than "lots and lots". The official record also has you making a
curious assertion about tangential gravity.

BZZZZT! Negatory. You made -that- assertion yourself, Greg.

Logical inference. The weight of a drill will only act to keep the bit
in the screw head if it is pointed within a small angle of straight
down, at least in my neighborhood.

I said "doesn't need much" IIRC. After starting a square head screw
into the wood (3/4" or so), I can take my hand off the driver and it
will stand there like it was glued on. If yours won't do that, you
are buying either the wrong screws, the wrong bits, or both, as I said
before. I have to physically wiggle the driver to get the bit out of
the driven screw each time. This is with deck screws (galv or epoxy
coated) mostly, but I seem to recall it being true with all the black
oxide McFeely micro pocket and washer-head screws, too.
