Why left hand wind on spinners and right hand wind on casters? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Seems to me their is no real science to it either way. Now that I'm thinking about it; it does seem more reasonable to think that you would want to use your dominate or most coordinate hand to control the rod more so than the reel. Teaching your least coordinated hand to wind a reel seems more brainless than teaching it to hook set, jig a rod, pump a rod, thumb a spool and possibly cast.
