Agreed.

Turn clockwise to tighten and straighten the neck. Think of it as a countermeasure to the strings. The more you tightened the strings, the more they would pull on the neck and increase curvature. Tightening the truss rod pulls it back in the other direction to straighten it back out. Think of it as one big steel string in a tug of war against those 6 little strings.
