I'm arguing why if you think left footers are easier to read (Which I don't think they are), then they aren't inferior penalty takers.

If a goalkeeper knew Ronaldo was going bottom left every time, you'd see more shots saved than are now.
If a keeper dives in the direction of penalty it clearly means he read where it was headed. But that obviously doesn't mean he will stop or get near it. Thus since Ronaldo always hits his penalties with the right amount of power, keepers are not likely to ever stop them. Even if he was to pick the same spot all the time.
