Yes it does. These things are manufactured like what, with a tolerance field of +-0.5 mm?
The local deviation you would get, would create a bigger force that combined with geometry (the curve) would determine the rotation being clockwise or counter-clockwise.
And the misbelief I talked about isn't a "slight rotation" I know that actually happens and I never claimed otherwise. What I claimed that the water have an overall rotation side that is completely dependent on which part of the globe you are at. Which it isn't.
You still fail to understand that what I've calculated is just 2 forces that act in order to show how one is completely irrelevant to the system that is being talked about.
I don't see how this I failed to demonstrate.
I calculated geometry vs Coriolis, and shown how far stronger geometry is, to a point coriolis is neglectable. Completely neglectable.
EDIT: And just to repeat it once more - completely neglectable
