I've not heard that one. What about a night flight
Other theories are that the cargo doors on the 757 and 777 are on the right side, and in some way this affects the torsional stiffness of the fuselage, hence the need for rudder trim. What about jet efflux? Could that be an explanation. Aerodynamicists?
