Good explanation of it, however; the manual ways of doing a bit shift left can require a lot of logic and thus why the BSL was created. We have situations where a camera looks at a part and determines if the part is small end to the "right" or small end to the "left". We then will shift the information over say 5 pockets and blow the "left" part the first time and then blow the part again the second time at pocket 6. Then at pockets 24 and 25 we blow the "right" part a different way. This would be a lot of logic moving the information around if not for the BSL. This is a great command for those situations. You talk like there is no good reason to use it and I disagree and use it when needed as I have done it both ways.
