You can hit with your left hand (it's OK), but you still must hit in the right direction.

Pop-Up Gordon leads the league in foul balls. "I'm goin' down swingin' on every pitch", he is quoted as saying after the game.

Because on a tripod you can still get both shutter and mirror shock.
An answer to shutter shock is an electronic shutter, BTW, as long as artificial lights conditions are favourable and subjects aren't moving.

It is a silly idea going back at least 60 years where it was assumed that tripods might not be particularly stable and might actually harbor resonance traceable to SLR mirror slap as well as shutter press. Some makers* offered mirror-up on shutter press with the self timer,** hence a similar silly feature on today's cameras.

* My Ricoh Singlex TLS, Ricoh XR-2s, Exakta VX IIa, and Exakta VX 1000 are all that way.
** The idea being that the timer would allow vibrations to dissipate prior to opening the shutter.

SR isn't automatically disabled if your camera is on a tripod. You have to disable it yourself.

Yes, when I had a Canon Rebel and a small-sensor Pentax Q-7, I used the Q-7 for indoors photos because it allowed me to take good photos despite needing longer exposures. Recently I took this photo with by light from a table lamp only, holding the Q-7 one-handed at an awkward angle, of my buddy as she lay next to me - shutter speed is 1/4 second.
