this summer i blew a brake line, and of course i had to bleed the brakes, well when loosening the top bleeders the broke, i was like sweet i'm screwed now, but i stumbled across the lower ones and bled with them and worked perfectly, so i really don't think it matters

i think it's so they can be used on both sides , but you can crack the bottom ones and just gravity bleed them

No, the calipers are not interchangable. Scheistermeister's post is correct. As per the FSM, normal bleeding is done through the top nipple. You only use the bottom one if the caliper has been disassembled.
