If taking all the time to undo it , then just leave it off.

Step on the bumper itself.
He is talking about a ball in the actual bumper itself.

Senix is referring to the receiver ball mount on SUVs that don't have step bumpers.

This explanation makes more sense than anything else I can think of.

By installing the ball upside down, you have the ball available without blocking the view of the license plate.

Possible, but I don't think so. If that was the case it would be easier just to leave it alone, or take it off completely.

It easy to explain. It for those folks that think the meaning of you being upside down on trailer (as in payments vs value) means the trailer must be towed upside down
