  No? I’ve been counting like this for like 20 years

    Maybe you’re used to it. Putting up just my ring finger is hard and uncomfortable

      I don’t try to put my pinky all the way down, the difference between a 1 and 0 on that finger is about 90°, though it rolls a bit depending on the other fingers. As long as you can tell the difference between up and down, you don’t have to be that strict about the exact positioning
