I am a great admirer of Thea's playing, but have to disagree with her theory on swabbing an instrument from the top.
Pulling through from the bell allows the swab to gently compress as it enters the cone of the bore.
Pulling through from the top means that the swab (which, however slightly, is actually a bit abrasive) is constantly being compressed over the sharp edge of the top tenon, and over the years can wear the bore at this point.
The point about redistributing the moisture is a red herring as the minute amount left on the surface of the bore after swabbing will evaporate in minutes.
