I've always heard that it doesn't matter as the bulbs pull or
push
themselves to the correct depth

Why then do half of my Kaufmannia tulips always lie on top of the
soil
this time of the year?

They're trying to escape from your garden?

Could be.

Or squirrels.

No squirrels, no mice, but vast hordes of jackdaws. However, I have
never seen them rooting around in the soil. They content themselves
with stealing what they can from the bird feeding sites.
