I think he meant because you can adjust Phil BB sets L or R to your heart's content to achieve the desired chainline/stay clearance. Just loosen one side and tighten the other to move the cartridge. Neither side is "fixed". Available with French threads. Pretty pricey, but maintenance-free and lasts forever. One of the few unimprovable bike parts.
