You'd think everyone would know by now, if you put anything on the right your gonna die.

Wow Matt,
Seems you have started a cult....
I was taught this as an option, my preference is all on left side depending on what I'm hauling, after i get up to 3 AL 80's I have to use both sides.
Carrying bottles on your right WILL interfier with long hose deployment if you are not very careful about how you clip stuff on and route your hose, typically it is not a problem for me but I have had the long hose get hung up before during practicing, it does not give me warm fuzzies.
Typically as well I'll carry o2 on my right side as for in a cave I dump it right away, I just clip the top clip and go. In lakes I carry all on left side lean to rich.

That one was tried already, with less than favorable results. How about Starnesville?
We might also consider Central Repository of Aquatic Patrons, C.R.A.P. It takes a special person to want to be called a crappy diver. Of course, only D.I.M.W.I.T.s would be allowed.
