Another point which i dont think anyone has mentioned above is that the rock/gear/bolt end of a draw can often be scratched in the upper corner at the touching point to the gear or bolt. When you clip metal to metal this scratched/coarse area is now in contact with the smooth metal where the rope normally runs through. It may only be minor but the coarse area rubbing on the smooth area will coarsen the smooth biner over time. This is turn will scratch up your sheath next time the smooth end is used against the rope. Effectively this is the same as if you clip the draw ends the wrong way around can cut through or severely damage a rope in the worst case.
