    Probably involves brain imaging. Pretty much every MRI study specifies right-handedness; apparently there’s enough of a difference in activation patterns that it messes with inter-subject analyses.

    Almost all right handed people are left brain dominant for language but there is a large portion of left handed people with mixed or ipsilateral dominance.

    Or it could be that us lefties, being in our right minds, are not elgible….

    Pretty easy to figure out which bad childhood memories they are referring to as well.

    @Aaron: Bad memories of being forced to use right-handed scissors?

    Obviously the memories from the re-education camps each of us lefties had to attend would interfere with the “bad childhood memories” aspect. They’re presumably interested in bad memories that happened as a result of activities and events not associated with forced labour and whippings.
