This is fascinating. When I first read Wooley's remark I thought "who could think that?"
Here's another way to think about it. Imagine you have a model of your aircraft sitting on top of your stick. When you move the stick, your aircraft adopts the attitude as the model on top of the stick. Push stick forward - both the model and the actual aircraft adopt a nose down attitude, pull back on stick, nose of aircraft and model point up. Same for left and right movements of the stick.
Now imagine you have a model aircraft mounted on the central pivot point of the rudder pedals. By analogy with the stick, to cause the nose of the aircraft to yaw left, you would carry out whatever movement makes the model's nose point left i.e. push the right pedal.
See where I'm coming from?
