I think and hope that he's doing this as an exercise to make you think for yourself. You've done just that, in arguing back against him.
In general, remember that right-handedness is the status quo. Left-handedness is the rulebreaker, so we wouldn't simply state "Right-handed," we'd just assume it until someone pokes up and says, "Hey, Leonardo da Vinci was left-handed."
Handedness has nothing to do with intelligence. It may play a part in adaptability, seeing as how you have to approach a world which is overwhelmingly right-handed.
