Yeah, at an intellectual level I understand all that... but it doesn't make it feel any more intuitive.

And I'm still curious as to whether there's any significance to which way a person sees it. And why my preferred direction changed after being away from it for awhile (I'm still stuck on left, if anyone's keeping score)

any significance to which way a person sees it

Susceptibility to priming effects? My intuition says handedness should have little to do with it, and the initial direction perceived by someone not familiar with the illusion would be evenly distributed, BUT people would differ more characteristically in their propensity to see it both ways.
