Sam, I don't think anyone has claimed the swivel will cause twist. I'm just saying that if your friction hitch causes your line to twist then that will become much more of an issue if you have a swivel. Without the swivel then the attachment to your saddle will prevent your rope from twisting...

If your rope begins to twist then it will take your hitch with it. If you have a swivel then you will be fighting it all the time trying to keep your hitch oriented correctly. IMO it's about as bad of an idea as putting a swivel on your steering column in your truck.
