Right and Left sway control a myth?

Soooooooo.......just got off the phone with the " sway control experts " Etrailer.com. I've wondered and also because I need to purchase one , why people are telling me there is a right and left sway control kit for travel trailers. Funny how I can never find both images on the internet. Guessing I'm a fool for trying. Anywho....I was told the reason for the 2 holes on my hitch is so I can choose where I want to put my sway control. They say there is NO reason for 2 controls and that the possibility of a binding effect could happen while driving when 2 are mounted. I'm ordering 1 for now for my Pa. trip in 2 wks. but I would like some input from the masses about this as I am going to Fla. the end of Dec. and want no problems with sway. Thank you in advance.
God Bless.
Your TT buddy,

Hmmm? I just bought a 2nd sway control from etrailer.com as they recommend a 2nd control for TT's over 26 ft. long; says so right on their website and when I inquired with them, got the same answer. This seems to be a controversial issue as some folks say use no sway control, others swear by one and others by two. I figure 2 can't hurt and TT seems a bit long for my Expy so I am mounting it and will see for myself. And yes, I do have my rig properly loaded, 10-15% of total weight on the hitch, etc. but approaching trucks, wind, etc. does induce a small amount of sway that I would just as soon not have.

So... who ya gonna believe? Seems like Etrailer can't even agree with itself on this issue! :@

I put the second one on and noticed an improvement. Getting a "much" more expensive hitch, like a pro pride or the like would of course be preferred, but we do what we can. Proper loading, tires, and TV are of course the foundation of no sway.
