@Dorythefish When the thumb moves towards the right, the pinky moves towards the left and vice versa - one has to know which part of the circle is being described by "left"/"right" - it's usually the top.
Thinking about rotation relative to a point *outside* the axis is not intuitive for everyone, hence the preference of some for CW/CCW, or the need for a mnemonic that specifies which part is left/right.
@eishiya
Thank you for explaining. I have trouble remembering never considered what movement my *fingers* were doing. Never realized there were so many different perspectives to it! Again: thanks for explaining, I learned something ๐
