But the question remains: how much do right-handed tools kill lefties? Later we have:
... Calls to the occupational Safety and Health Administration and a soup of other federal agencies charged with tracking health and safety turned up no evidence of maimed or dying lefties. On the other hand, officials admit that this may be because they never ask if accident victims are left-handed. The major labor unions, from the AFL-CIO to the United Auto Workers, also report no complaints from suffering sinsitrals.
And on the "lefties are forced to use right-handed tools" routine:
... "We make a conscious effort to make tools ambidextrous," says Douglas Spranger, president of Human Factors Industrial Design Inc., a New York City firm that has invented hundreds of specialized hand tools, from sugical staplers to a new mascara wand for Lancome. "Lefthanders are 15 percent of our target market. Every maufacturer is concerned with it. But, Spranger concedes, "We [designers] tend to favor the right-handed user. Notice the numerical keypad on your computer. It's not on the left."
Elsewhere the article claims that lefties suffer from a higher incidence of specific health problems, including learning disabilities, depression, migraine, allergies and autoimmune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritus and ulcerative colitus. It also has weird theories as to why which I won't quote.
Conclusions? Maybe there is truth here, but as a math geek, I don't trust the statistics, or the social aspects that influence the results leading to such conclusions. I'm logging off to go throw some rocks at a few rabbits.
