Sorry for n00b question.
I was watching this video of a chef cutting sashimi:

He's definitely right handed and it looks like he is using right handed yanagi-ba. I think the cutting technique is called sogi-zukuri where you slice to the left and your left hand touches the slice.
My question is why would a single bevel help in this case? That seems contrary to how I would expect single bevels to slice stuff off to the right. There was a post with a graph of single vs double bevel shearing forces etc that I was trying to find.
