I'm so tempted to lock and sticky this as a lesson to all.

Not so fast! How can the drop be different from the rise? I haven't had my coffee yet, (yes, it's noon) but seems to me that the rise and drop should be equal.

Some manufacturers consider a straight stem "Zero degrees" and others "90 degrees". This manufacturer considers it 90 degrees.

The stem has 25 degrees of flip or flop from 90 degrees:
90 - 25 = 65 degrees (down)
90 + 25 = 115 degrees (up)
