"Good point! Perhaps they can even start hate playing with black
not only because they would think white is the one who wins, but mainly
because they will start thinking with the white pieces and the black ones
would seem strange."

Yes, thats it.
The psychological effect should not be underestimated at all.
I learned it the "wrong way", probably like most of us.
And today in my 30s i still notice, that i dont love the black pieces
as much as the white ones.

The method of mirroring can be used to train chess in an interesting
and even some innovative way:
He who has ever tried to mirror , let me say, a sicilian opening like dragon,
will agree that it is strange at first look, but gives some insight too.
