The problem with that drawing is, it would make people think that it
it just crossed over.

But it is actually 2 wires woind around each other (4 (10 Mbit/s) or
5 (100 Mbit/s) times per foot cable length). In fact the amount of
crossings should be dividable by 2 (oops, it was 7 in mine, should
have made it one loop longer).
