Default Which Way is That Thermal?

Regarding apparent rising wings, that may not indicate anything
regarding the direction of the core of the thermal, other than a turn
may indicated.

That is, there is another school of thought on which way to turn,
especially if the goal is to center as quickly as possible in a
thermal.

Yup, if you always turn toward the lifted wing, I guarantee you will be
right at least half the time.
