I think the problem here is that there are two different sets of ball quadrants. One with respect to the target/plane line and another with respect to the flight line. The closed clubface and outside aft quadrant Yoda talks about is with respect to the flight line. But with respect to the target/plane line, the face is open and the ball contact point is on the inside quadrant. The fact is that if you hit the plane line version of the outside aft quadrant of the ball with a clubface which is closed with respect to the plane line, the ball will start left of the target.
