The same left-bias 'advice' is given to amateur photographers, which results in a wall full of what a friend calls 'camera club copycat' photos. Until your eye alights on one that doesn't follow the guidelines and stands out as a result. I'd follow the reading-direction paradigm for something like a UI or arranging books on a shelf, but not for art.
