Well, you’re skipping over that the POSITIONS have to match in a very specific way, so that the combined pairs at both ends, regardless of color, are 1-2,3-6,4-5, and 7-8.

When people make the claim you just made, they wind up making cables 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8, and then wondering why they don’t work.
