Wow, Paul! You just brought up a very important point!

How can any player do a left side of reed test then a right side of reed test if the mouthpiece purposely has an asymmetrical facing? According to my understanding, this test would be completely useless.

Perhaps the article that I listed at the very beginning should have mentioned that this test was only good on "symmetrical" clarinet mouthpiece facings.

Now...this brings up another question in my mind. How does a player optimize his or her reed to an asymmetrical mouthpiece?

Is Reed Wizard a possible solution for asymmetrical facings?
