That old shop rule about spoke prep finally clicked after 2 wheel builds

An old timer in Denver told me to only use spoke prep on the drive side non-disc spokes, and I thought he was full of it. After snapping 3 nipples on a rear wheel last month, I tried his method on a fresh build and the tension held way smoother. He said it's about where the real stress lands, and the torque readings on my Park Tool TM-1 backed it up. Anyone else get weird advice like that that turned out to be spot on?
