  If they paddle upside down , but it works for them and feels good then why
change'em?  Nature will sort things out eventually and the less efficient
paddlers will die off from starvation because they cannot keep up on the
hunts and thus be denied opportunities at the kills.  (wait.....didn't the
Inuit share food communally?)<grin>
  It really doesn't matter as long as they're on the water and having fun.
