No the pic is not reversed. Terry cloth scratched the hell out of that paint. MF barely any. Here's the whole article:

I just went and tested a cotton towel vs a MF on a CD. I'm too lazy to post a pic but it looks just like the pic from above.
Like I said, you may get different results but MF does not scratch my paint like terry cotton does.
