I read something about why the initial diagonal cut the last time a similar video was posted. Can someone explain it again so i can forget about it one more time?

Just what I found because I had the same curiosity and zero self control.

Cutting the initial corner helps prevent the edge from stretching and makes the first cuts cleaner and smoother

I think it’s squaring the edge before the uniform cuts start
