Uneven pita bread

Sometimes when I make pita bread, one side of the pocket is considerably
thinner than the other.  Chris Dalrymple felt that the dryer side tended to
be thinner.  Are there any other reasons?  I thought maybe it had to do with
moistness of the dough, or amount of gluten (I use all-purpose rather than
bread flour for a more tender pita), or that I bake them directly on quarry
tiles.  It doesn't always happen, so that makes it even harder to
understand.  Thanks for your help.
