Bruce is just here for arguments. True the expense,
but also much time is saved untangling the cord.

My method of rolling one up does involve "wrapping
the cord around hand & elbow", but you also need to
be walking on a flat solid surface with entire cord
stretched out straight behind.

Walking speed must exceed the effective cord
take-up speed (in order to allow it to twist),
and two half-twists are done by the loose
wrist each loop, once at the elbow and
once at the other wrist.
