Swirling versus inverting versus leaving it alone

On the subject in the title: Swirling versus inverting versus leaving it alone Working notes rather than a conclusion.

Asking about swirling versus inverting versus leaving on behalf of the question I keep seeing asked badly, including by me.

Framed properly it is answerable. Framed the usual way it is not, and that is most of why the previous threads went nowhere.

The opening post put the caveat in the right place and I want to underline it.

A cake that takes a few minutes to dissolve is ordinary. A cake that will not dissolve after gentle swirling and standing at room temperature is worth raising with the supplier rather than working around.

Swirling until fully clear before drawing is worth the extra minute. A partially dissolved preparation is not uniform and the first dose out of it is not the same as the last.

That is what I would do. It may not be what is correct.
