The article linked doesn't have a lot of detail, but i'm impressed that someone has pushed through the standard reflexive though that either chiral form was equally likely and recognised that actually the universal has handedness that could have influenced the outcome.
That's what I think is the stroke of genius here, not the conclusion, but the idea to consider other forms of handedness
eg.

as context in which the left or right forms might not actually be equivalent.
The reason I think this is genius, is it is a question anyone could have asked. Lots of us have probably thought about it at some point and summarily concluded it was not a question we were capable of exploring.
