Bitchy? Moi? I thought this was a very respectful exchange of views.
Technical? Well, only if you don't care why it works.

If you're in a long boat edge away fom the direction you want to turn;
if you're in a short boat edge toward the direction you want to turn.

That pretty much sums it up for me.

Or, to avoid confusing the dutch: if you're in a marathon boat and want
to turn left, put all your weight on your right bum cheek.

Yet another way to put it. Thanks.
