He never said lefties are clumsy. He just said that he would be more clumsy if
HE had been forced to use his less-coordinated hand. As a right, that's his
left. The subject is leftys forced to use their right hands as kids. This has
indeed been shown to lead to clumsiness... but nowhere does it imply southpaws
are clumsy.

Sinister, maybe.
