Sorry, my question was unclear. Why do traditional chain designs only have the chain on one side? If symmetrical designs are more efficient (as the article claims) why couldn't the same thing be accomplished with a chain/belt design?
EDIT: as to the article -- more analysis of why symmetrical designs are superior would have been nice.
