Brake bleeding for 4th gen with Traction Control

Brake bleeding for 4th gen with Traction Control I'm getting ready to change out my brake fluid in my SS and was checking out the GM service manual and they give a procedure that is different than what most people on here say to do.
I've read that most people start at the furthest point away from the master cylinder and move to the closest point, and this is what the GM manual says for cars WITHOUT Traction Control:
Right Rear->Left Rear->Right Front->Left Front
The GM manual says for cars WITH Traction Control:
Right Rear->Left Front->Left Rear->Right Front
Anybody know why there is a difference?
Thanks

I believe the traction control system not only restricts accelerator peddle movement but also engages the brakes for the wheel that is slipping.

on either system the lines get split at the abs modulator. for a traction control car you have 2 separate lines from the abs going to the rear. for non tc only one line that goes to a T fitting on the rear axle and splits to each rear wheel.
for anyone that says order matters i would like to hear a logical explanation of why. otherwise it's one of those things some dumbass said years ago for whatever reason and has been perpetuated thanks to the internet.
