sounds dumb to me because simply spinning the bars up would accomplish the same thing with less lunacy. You'd just grab the drops part, which is now upward and backward facing. i just don't believe any reasonable builder would incorporate such complexity into a stem so the bike is comfy to ride home.
interesting bit of culture though.
