I like this post and found it helpful, thanks.
I think the point those that want the TA players on their right are missing is that when the TA is on your left the frequency of him raising a limp by you is so rare due to how infrequently you limp at the same time he has a hand to raise. If you limp 10% of the time (assuming 18/8 player) and he raises 8% of the time, this means he is raising less than 1 out of 10 of your limps and this situation is occurring 1 in every 125 hands (1/10 * 1/12.5). The situation where you would be able to raise 3 LP limpers in front of you for value if they are on your right would occur more frequently and is of more value to you than what you lose the rare time the TA raises a hand you happen to limp on.
