I beg to differ on this point. I find that using an unfeathered paddle -

Your points are correct, but if you do use a control hand, then there
will be a small rotation required.

How so? If the paddle is allowed to seek it's own orientation, there is
no directional input from the paddle required. The paddle simpy twists
in one's hands, if necessary.
