For external BBs you're back at square one, I'm talking about square taper/octalink/isis/whatever cartridge bbs here.
Well, there still is bearing precession that's wanting to turn the whole cartridge shell, but it's causing the adjustable threaded cup/ring to tighten, so the fixed cup isn't going anywhere, since the cartridge shell is rigid.
