It seems like when I want to "tack on" an operation, it is actually a preConcatenate.

This is counterintuitive to me.

Also, when you are just doing commutative operations, like just translation, it doesn't matter whether you preConcatenate or concatenate.

What happened was I started with just translations and was concatenating.

Then, I added rotation, and it did not work right whether I preConcatenated or concatenated.  The issue was that I should have been preConcatenating the translations that I had already programmed in.
