Two Circuses in Town
or
Pruning to Avoid Apical Dominance.

When pruning requires that a section of shrubbery (don't you just love that word) be symmetrical you must pruning with the intent to clip all shoots equally. Making sure that no stem achieves apical dominance guarantees that all stem ends will be double tops, many will exhibit triple or quadruple tops. When you wish to have height you must avoid cutting the the stem that has apical dominance, this will create a double top, This is often seen in mugho pines.

Da circus was in town eh, an I coud see over behind da hill dey had a big ten eh, an it looked like it had double top eh, but wen I wen over da hill eh, it dint have double top eh, it was jus one big ten.

The above descriptions were made up by me, I hope you appreciate the effort I put into explaining things to you. If you would like anything else explained I will be glad to do it.
