The problem is that these studies are read by people who don't know how to read studies, and who then inevitably conclude that mixed-handed people are always!stupid. This kind of prejudice typically causes more real-life problems to the afflicted (as in: no-one would knowingly hire a mixed-handed person because, after all, you don't want stupid employees) than their actual neurodivergence... As usual. XD So, yeah, if you can draw a rose with one hand while simultaneously drawing a tulip with the other, it's a lot safer to keep that to yourself.
