It might just be true!

no matter what, you're going up to the next note anyway.
Depending of how fast the part is, it might not make a difference.

please correct me if i'm wrong though.

That COULD be true, but I don't think so. Only because something in the back of my mind tells me Ive seen that in a tab before. Keep in mind, if your typing out tabs, you don't really have a whole lot of choices with how to represent things. You cant really make a "bend" arrow on your keyboard. Also, if what your saying were true, it would be very dependant on the speed of the song like you said. There is a clear difference in bending, sliding, hammering, ect, but the faster you play, the more they can blend into each other.

Edit: are my eyes just being wierd, or are the letters in your post blue? I can't tell the difference too well right now lol
