can you explain to me why the slotted end goes in first? how do you get it threaded in without that slot end?

Everyone here is convinced to put the slotted end in first. I disagree, go to kimballmidwest.com look up the threaded inserts and open the instruction file it says to use a screwdriver (the correct size one mind you) or use a double nutted bolt. Youre only going in 3/8-1/2" in plastic even, its not rocket science.
