What is the benefit of rotating the barndoor 360°?

Troubleshooting
Barndoor is loose on the flash head.
Ensure the Profoto rubber collar mount is fully engaged with the flash head. Check for any debris obstructing the connection.
Barndoors are difficult to adjust.
Ensure the barndoors are clean and free from dust. If they feel stiff, gently flex them to loosen. Do not force them.
Light patterns are not as expected.
Verify that all four barndoors are properly positioned. Experiment with different angles and combinations to achieve the desired effect. Ensure the barndoor is correctly oriented on the flash head.
