Left is always right

Education can be confusing. Even a little bit of education muddles. From this derives a sense of deception by educators.

Proof lies in the right hand, left hand description. In school, the kindergarten teachers teach that the hand on the left hand of your body is the left hand and the right side and right hand the same.

In our journey studying school in science we learn about the body and all the nuances of biology. In studies of law, we learn that the owner, the operator of machinery is responsible for the operation of a piece of equipment.

The name of that equipment belongs to the owner. For instance, this tractor is Charlie's John Deere or this is Jack's snow blower. Thats a prime lesson in the study of business law.

Students learn later in science education thousands of little trivial facts. One of these is that the right hand is controlled by the left side of the brain. The left hand controlled by the right side of the brain. The brain controls almost all of body function including the hands.

By our business law model then the correct definition is that what you thought was the right hand is actually the left hand. And the left hand should really be called the right hand since it is controlled by the right side of the brain. Then the right hand is actually the left and the left is actually the right hand.

Remember this next time you talk to your hands. Incorrect naming is probably why they are angry at you.
