Its nothing personal, just aspies being aspies.

I'm not pulling this off some tip site. It is based on my experience. While camping in Yosemite and McArthur-Burney Falls I noticed all moss grew on only one side of the trees. According to my compass the moss only grew on the north side of the trees. Nature does not lie. I know what I saw in both parks. If you find a tree that is encircled with moss that sounds less like the norm and more like an overgrowth to the point of becoming a parasite.
There are a number of significant situations where the aphorism does not hold true.
On a south slope of a steep hill. The moss will not get enough light. On the north side of a steep slope you can have too much light, or if you are far enough north. Where I live the sun rises in the northeast and sets in the northwest. At the edge of a forest this trick wont apply either, for the reasons above.
If its a wet area you wont see a noticeable difference. If its too dry you might not see enough to judge. For example, where I live we have a relatively low rainfall but a lot of swampy ground.
Near rivers, near lakes, mossy side will probably face the water. On top of hills it might be too dry. In sandy soil you wont find moss on the bases of trees. Near salt water I am pretty sure you wont see moss, but rather grasses.
Nature does not lie: you just haven't seen enough of it just yet.
