#2Nice in principle, but it'd be better if it could show real data. This post is basically "why we would expect users to click right-side call-to-actions more than left-side" without actually backing it up and showing that they actually do so.

#3This seems utterly groundless to me, especially because it doesn't describe my eye movement.
Perhaps it's because I'm left-handed. Perhaps it's because I know content is always left-justified (and let's understand each other- I'm not at your web page for anything other than content). Either way, I don't pay much attention to the bottom right area of a web page.

#4The Ballpark site has the CTA at the right bottom part of the page as well. So even they are following the principle/assumption rather than neglecting it.

I agree. I can even corroborate the hypothesis anecdotally, since CTAs on the right side "feel" right to me, but without data it's still just a hypothesis.

#7This is unlikely to apply to the billions of people that read right to left however.

#8Hmmm, I was expecting some interesting explanation why. (It's obvious enough I guess, but sometimes even 'obvious' facts have explanations more intriguing than you might at first suspect.) This article just tells me the fact of it and what to do about it.

Those sites are designed oppositely. This principle applies to movies and in fact anything with a frame around it, there are certain emotions and intents communicated with framing. Think of this as website framing.

You must read a lot of websites that are all forums, plain text. Web services and online stores on the other hand need techniques like this to lay out things in a way that makes sense. Imagine if Wal Mart had its cash registers in the back and only niche expensive items at the front. Sales would drop. In fact I think I just realized why malls suck so bad.
