Exactly, and what about at early waxing/waning phases when the moon is lit from underneath or on top? The left/right illumination won't be accurate then, either.
Just remember, it's a representation of the phase. It's not meant to be an exact view as if you stepped outside. It doesn't take into account libration or the distance from the Earth, either
