Manually deforming by twisting

Michaels planar re-creation to get an "analytic" face works on a twist command twisted rectangle.
Just the last selected face direction required it. The twisty sides would do inset, as well as the bottom side.
Sometimes the inset would be "outwards," when it should have been "inwards," on the bottom side.
(Like "inside" and "outside," were backwards...?)
