You need to go back and read this again!!! Yes, they are often cut crooked. This is the solution for getting accurate size pieces. The finished pieces are measured this way, not the seam allowances.
I don't see it.

If the left side is crooked (moves in and out), then my seam will also be crooked (move in and out). I don't see how that works.

If the left side is straight, but the width is incorrect, then it will work, as my seam will be straight.

The article says this is not a cure-all.
