I actually think it is supposed to make it a challenge to eat properly, to prove - at least when these manners were invented centuries ago - that one was a well-educated and respected member of the right part of society.

At the same time these rules were invented, you would have been hanged or worse for a good word, because of your left-handedness. Weirdo.
