I can learn. I do not fully understand how a LONG line of low-pressure emitters can each deliver the same drip rate. I will continue to learn about these systems. That said.......

This, I think, is untrue. With soaker hoses, when I turn down the faucet, the first hose weeps and the last hose does not. Apparently the pressure in the hoses is unequal. When I turn up the faucet, the hoses spray. Quite a distance. Including the last hose. Here, apparently, the pressure in the hose is higher. And evener.
