1 lug 2012 · J.R.: Yes, I didn't want to clog up the answer itself with that level of detail, but when the word "the" is part of the "the one side/hand" juxtaposed with "the other side/hand", most of the instances with "hand" are exactly OP's context, but very few of the (far less common anyway) instances of "side" are actually for that "weighing up of alternatives" sense.

22 mar 2014 · 'I have two pens, one is red, the other is black.' You cannot say 'another' because that suggests there is more than one.
