Transform-origin

I'm extremely confused as to why Gil uses transform-origin: center left; on the .back class, transform-origin: top right; on the .left class, and no transform-origin on the .right class at all... My understanding is that the transform-origin (default center/center) is the point that the images are to rotate around when given a rotate value. So why wouldn't the value stay consistent for .back and .left with transform-origin: center left & center right; respectively??

I wonder if Guil Hernandez might answer this one himself (now that I've linked him).

Guil sorry. I also noticed that .back and . left are both rotating along the Y-axis. This made me wonder if changing:

.left {
transform-origin: top right;
}

/* TO */

.left {
transform-origin: center right;
}

would make a difference (seeing that both top and center are values of the Y-axis). After testing both values I didn't notice any significant changes, but I may be wrong.
