The stabilizing side being the dominant of the two. I find the notion rather simplistic and unlikely given what I know about the brain, unfortunately I don't recall the source, so I can't determine what it was based on. If true, it could have important ramifications.
Is this the point that we discover that all Atheists are left handed or something?
