I had a friend who time to time had to call people on the phone and have them explain where is right and where is left, and then she soon forgot it again. It's not a brain damage, but a neurological thing.
Happens to me all the time -- I have to point when I'm a passenger giving directions to a driver -- I usually say the wrong one first.
I thought it was because I'm left-handed (or slightly brain-damaged).

Again, left-alignement helps thinking about and reading patches. See theOops. Please invert: "just like [t f f f] fires from right to left".
subpatch for a solution without pipe - and without triggers as well. [trigger]
is important, but only when objects don't have enough outlets themselves.
[unpack 0 0 0] already has three outlets that, just like [t f f f] fire from
left to right, so triggering explicitly is not needed.
71 of 364 (19.5%) college professors and 311 of 1185 (26.2%) college students
said that they occasionally, frequently or all of the time had difficulty when
they had to quickly identify right from left.
