Contradicting Quote vs Demographics

QUOTE

"If the left side of your brain controls the right side of your body,
and the right side of your brain controls the left side of your body,
then left-handed people must be the only ones in their right minds."

~ W.C. Fields


DEMOGRAPHICS

Approximately 8 to 15% of the adult population is left-handed.
Studies indicate that left-handedness is more common in
males than females. Left-handedness, in comparison to the
general population, also appears to occur more frequently in
identical twins, and several groups of neurologically disordered
individuals (people suffering from epilepsy, Down's Syndrome, autism,
mental retardation, dyslexia, etc.) Statistically, the identical
twin of a left-handed person has a 76% chance of being left-handed,
identifying the cause(s) as partly genetic and partly environmental.
