In the absence of an absolutely correctly written formula, and with you admitting that while left to right is not an immutable rule, it's not incorrect (which I think you did in a weird "I can't quite admit anything" type of way), wouldn't you apply it in this case? Again, not because it should always be applied, but knowing that it's not wrong to apply, it would be helpful when solving an obscure equation.

I'll never admit anything that could remotely be interpreted as me being wrong. That is saved for my wife and my wife only

I just think some people read equations as sentences, and some see the arguments within the equation. You can read 1-2=x as one minus two. Or it can be read as positive one combined with negative two using addition. I feel the second scenario is more useful when you get deeper into math.
