Having read about the damage that turbulence can do to copper piping and the importance of reaming and cleaning, I wonder why instead of merely making the inside bore smooth we don't taper it?
If it's not tapered, water will encounter a 'cliff' approximately equal to the pipe's wall thickness (minus any shoulder inside the fitting, assuming there is one and the pipe was cut square and snugged up against it.)
