The "logic" is that the SSSA puts a moment (twist) into the frame at the
swing arm pivot and the DSSA does not.  The moment prestresses the frame
making it less likely to flex in some directions and more likely to flex in
others.

Great logic.....for a racebike.  But I don't foresee very many street 
riders, or even many trackday riders being "hindered" by this effect.  Now I 
have to ask, if this is such a problem why has the all concouring Ducati 
916-998 series use single sided swingarms?  Not intending to flame you, just 
that I think some folks put waaayy too much thought into this stuff for 
streetbike use.  But, as Dennis Miller sez, that's my opinion, I could be 
wrong.
