Yes! But creation is not finished and that is why he gave us the ability
to choose, create. And actually I think using the left fringe for this
would be a mistake. I think most human beeings expect to find line feeds
to the right. Even though that is a human mistake it would be another
not to take this into account.
And the right fringes are too far away to be realistic.
