 The confusing part seems to be that in both methods you take meticulous care to ensure cleanliness.  After that the installs go in opposite directions.

In one you make certain that everything is bone dry and stays that way with the warning that any lubrication is an assurance of imminent disaster. The second method requires an extremely heavy lubricant, or as just mentioned, grease to provide the proper stiction to let the gasket gently flow into place.

I can buy into either method, as I can see the merits of either one.  Maybe we need to take a mini census to find out who has done what and the end results.
