If stick forces are high, then right handed pilots will obviously be able to roll into a left hand turn faster. Also, as was mentioned earlier, almost everything else is managed with the left hand so moving to a left hand grip or assist is not without risk. Since all military pilots from the era are right handed pilots (because there were no left handed cockpits) that's the way it was.
Engine torque and P-factor are also issues but center stick pilots would still tend to turn left even if they weren't.
Such a simple explanation that has nothing to do with the subconscious.
Also, precession occurs no matter what direction you turn. The only difference is the direction of the precession.
Rolling against the torque is just that, rolling against the torque, and it causes no precession. The roll against the torque is what was so difficult in the old rotary engined aircraft.
