If RIGHT produces something that is functionally equivalent (demonstrated via empirical evidence) to MIDDLE, then is LEFT not irrelevant? If someone makes a LEFT that is functionally equivalent (demonstrated via empirical evidence) to MIDDLE, then is RIGHT not irrelevant? Why does it matter if LEFT and RIGHT are equivalent if the goal is MIDDLE?
