The point I was making was is there benefits for low-time pilots to
thermal right and land left?


This is a naive, but certainly not a stupid question.

If everyone did turn right (or left) in all thermals
(presumably at altitude) this at face value would seem to
reduce the chance of a midair, if both pilots can't
see each other for whatever reason.

I'm not suggesting this, just pointing out there
are reasons why this isn't simply an idea to discard
as foolish...
