let your fingers do the talking [UPDATED]

If you hold up your fingers to indicate scare quotes ["dick fingers," as Jon Stewart called the gesture (at least McCain's usage of it) on the Oct. 28 Daily Show], and if you move your fingers while doing so, as people often do—I believe DFW refers to this as "finger flexion" in one of his Brief Interviews with Hideous Men—do you move them on each accented syllable?  This suddenly hit me for some reason: I think you do.

E.g., in that section of Hideous Men,* the hideous man in question says, "My own experience indicates that the cliché ['I can't believe my ears'] does not mean [sustained f.f.] I can't believe that this possibility now exists in my consciousness but rather something more along the lines of [sustained and increasingly annoying f.f.] I cannot believe that this possibility is now originating from a point external to my consciousness"; if you do what he does, and you hold up your fingers while you say that shit out loud, flexing the fingers the way one does as you do so—don't you flex 'em on not, lieve, poss, maybe bil, now, rig, point, tern, maybe my, and then con?

Question no. 2: Is it possible that one hand flexes differently from the other?  Question no. 3: Am I maybe making all this up?  Question no. 4: Why, I wonder?

* And by the way it wasn't "for some reason": it was because I was reading this section of Hideous Men.
