The tailgate promotes nose first inflation.

Nose first inflation has many benefits, including:

Faster Pressurization
Better Opening Heading
Reduced Incidence of Line Over Malfunctions

Tailgates promote nose first inflation. So if you prefer nose first inflation, you ought to be using the tailgate.

If you wanted tail first inflation...then you'd be saying "fuck tailgates".
