The logic for stuffing a tent seems to be completely different than that for 
stuffing a sleeping bag.  If you continue to roll a sleeping bag then the 
fill in it tends to get pushed toward one end and compacted.  I always stuff 
my sleeping bag, but the tent never seems to fold in the same place before I 
roll it to fit into the "stuff" sack.  Seems to me like stuffing a tent 
would be somewhat like wadding up a piece of paper and causing a multitude 
of creases with each stuffing.  The seams are at least reinforced and the 
rolling motion does not cause a crease.
