View submission: Are my laces a south paw issue?

My brother taught himself how to tie laces, and he had this problem his whole life (he was right-handed FWIW).

Shoelace knots are modified Square knots, but if you do one part of a Square knot backwards, you end up with a Granny lot, which slips open.

Fortunately, I learned to do mine the correct way, but I could easily see an unrecognized mistake creeping in when a right-hander tries to teach a left-hander how to do it?
