Because that's what it's due to.

Does this mean I only have 1 half as I can do it. This would also explain why I suck at chess. 😀
(And you're rotating an arm and leg on the *same* side of your body in opposite directions, right?)
No. No I dont now that even worse I only can do it on the left side. I can do it sort of on the right but not really now I know thats not good and I will also bug me for ages. had I mentioned I look stupid trying it in my front room.

When you try to explain [e.g, "Don't worry, I'm just checking to see whether contrary rotations of ipsilateral limbs provoke antagonstic neural cascades in the afferent motor cortex"], it only makes it worse.

what I think you're saying with no difficulty on both sides...
Can you explain what you mean by 'rotate an arm and leg?'

my wrist and when I did my foot, same side, it seemed to get
confused for awhile but I was able to train it to do that after a few
tries. Its funny looking at the foot being uncertain as to what
way it wants to turn, like someone else has a remote on it!
I did it though, you have to start out slowly and work up speed.
Even after a bit of a training session, the foot goes from right to
left and jerks to a bit of a stop then continues. Freaky actually.
Just so I show the format, I am sitting down at the comp and
then stick out my right leg under the table and hold my right arm
out following my leg and then rotate leg left and arm right or
visa versa. I think that satisfies the test. If I am wrong, tell me.
