LOL! I can understand the rationale. On my ghetto track bikes (hipster fixies ) with bullhorns, an asymmetrical placement of the brake levers (only got two in the parts bin so that's what I have to work with) would still allow some form of emergency braking regardless of hand position. Looks unconventional but it works.
