I got it from context, but this title took me a second to figure out.
Is it saying that the idea stairs are built clockwise for a defense advantage is a myth? eg: "Medieval staircases were not (built going clockwise for the defender's advantage)"
Or that stairs were were purposely built NOT clockwise (or rather anti/counter clockwise), so that defenders would have an advantage? eg: "Medieval staircases were (not built going clockwise) for the defender's advantage"
