Talk into the right ear and you send your words into a slightly more amenable part of the brain.

I urge you to try this at home.

As one of the comments at Wired points out, the left side of the brain specializes in verbal processing.

Thus, it's a confounding factor that prevents us from concluding that the left side is "more amenable". That is possible, but not indicated.
