which end of the dogbone?

when looking at a quickdraw runner one side normally is much tighter than the other. on one side the loop is tight enough that when put in, a carabiner will not rotate in the loop, and the other side is loose enough that it will. is there any specific reason for keeping one rigid and the other side floppy? if so, do you put the bolt end or the rope end on the rigid side and why? i know either way it won't compromise the strength of the runner but i was just curious about why they were designed this way.
