I'm sure you're right

Chalk one up for another southpaw...me.

Peace.

For example, I play guitar and drums "right-handed" (i.e., the drums set up for a right-handed person, the guitar strings in standard position, with the neck to my left), and my right hand is "stronger" on piano.  However, I cannot do any of the four things listed above with my right hand.  Thus, I am not ambidextrous, though some might think so watching me play drums or guitar.

It was also told to me that therefore creativity with lefthanded people are higher, the time to co-ordinate the left hand is faster (yeah.. really.. uuhm .. sounds really stupid  )

I also play righthanded guitar, and in my case.. I have HUGE advantages of that, because the right-hand work of hitting the strings cost far less strenght and agility then the left hand (in my case at least), and yeah I also play without plectrum, can't get the right word for it...
