Default Left Hand Threading . . . . .

K. H. Moltrecht in his book Machine Shop Practice advises: " . . . The
left-hand side-cutting tool should have a 10- to 17-degree relief angle on
the flank below the right side-cutting edge, and an 8- to 12-degree relief
angle below the left-hand cutting edge. . . . ".

Can someone please explain why the 2 respective relief angles should not be
the same ?
