For the lefty, the first time confronting a righty in combat would leave the lefty with the same disadvantage as the righty has.
“For the lefty, the first time confronting a righty in combat would leave the lefty with the same disadvantage as the righty has.”
True.
But it’s extremely unlikely that a lefty has not confronted a righty.
And it’s unlikely that a righty will ever have to confront a lefty.
Perhaps, it the lefty had just magically appeared on earth. But in real life, any and all previous interactions by the lefty in a right-handed world should have conditioned the lefty to expect a right- handed opponent. The lefty would probably not expect a left-handed opponent.
