How do we prove the theory that the reason people "bear left" because of it
being the "shield side" of the body? By means of the Sherlock Homes
method....once you have eliminated all other possibilities, that which
remains, however improbable, can be the only answer. Of the other often put
proposition about veering to the left, one is supposed to relate to the
position of the heart in the body cavity. But the fact that people do veer
or drift to the left is just that, fact, and has been proven many times
over....which is why it is incorporated in aircraft carrier design.
Also related to shield carrying, is the reason why spiral staircases in most
"proper" castles go upwards in a clockwise direction, to allow a defender
presumed to be "up" the tower to have an unrestricted blow against an
attacker who is ascending the tower.
