Microwave popcorn

I usually just buy kernels bulk and do the stove thing but I'm out of those and have a bag of "Camp Masters" microwaveable popcorn, which is actually pretty good.

I've found that a good way to make sure the butter/oils are evenly distributed is to "mix"m them up with my fingers by pinching the bag and moving the kernels around pre-microwave.

This is my question: in order to achieve minimal burn/maximum poppage, which would be the better route: cluster them all in the center "console" of the bag, or spread the kernels throughout the bag?


This is some pretty deep stuff possibly requiring heavy reflection and/or ridicule so I eagerly await both.
