Why would more eccentricity lead to colder winters and hotter summers in each hemisphere? How would that work?

yeah makes little sense since the earth is closer to the sun in january. if anything higher eccentricity should reduce seasonal differences. (seasonal differences being driven mostly by earth tilt, not distance from sun)
