Happens to me all the time -- I have to point when I'm a passenger giving directions to a driver -- I usually say the wrong one first.

I thought it was because I'm left-handed (or slightly brain-damaged).

Again, left-alignement helps thinking about and reading patches. See the

[unpack 0 0 0] already has three outlets that, just like [t f f f] fire from
left to right, so triggering explicitly is not needed.
Oops. Please invert: "just like [t f f f] fires from right to left".

71 of 364 (19.5%) college professors and 311 of 1185 (26.2%) college students
said that they occasionally, frequently or all of the time had difficulty when
they had to quickly identify right from left.
