    Ong is basically right about the shoe-tying in principle. One or both hands learned how to tie a shoe better while in a particular postural configuration.* More of a question about motor control than physics though since there's nothing inherently in a left or right shoe that makes it harder to tie.

    Either that or banana had a stroke.

    * Or more aptly, the neural regions controlling the hand, since the hand itself is just the mechanical part of the system.

    Obv has nothing to do with hand strength. This phenomenom is caused by coriolis force. Banana ties an identical knot on both shoes, which means on one shoe the direction of the knot is aligned with the direction of the force exerted by walking, and on the other it's not. QED.

    Our brains have just one scale, and we resize our experiences to fit.

    Coco said QED - Quod Erat Demonstrandum - as it has been demonstrated - but he didn't actually demonstrate anything.

    This is bound to piss off the Nobel committee.

    Better fix that prior to official publication.

    Those stiffs probably don't even know what QED means and just think it's a qualification, like "hey I'm a professor" so they go "ok he knows his stuff, we'll believe him".
