Why does a mirror swap left and right but not up and down?
Wave your right hand at a mirror and the person in it waves back with their left. Yet your head still points up and your feet still point down: the mirror doesn't turn you upside down. Why would a mirror flip left-and-right but leave up-and-down alone?
