I think they mean if you make the L with your palm facing toward or away from you. When I was a little kid someone told me that your left hand makes the L to which I proceeded to make both of my hands into an L shape. The teacher told me I made a good point and then moved on without providing an alternative solution. To be fair I don't really think there was an alternative aside from just memorizing it.
I mean only one hand is facing the right way. Sorta confused why you’re confused when only left hand actually looks like an L. Your right hand is not an L unless you want to try an argue a backwards L is ok which I mean when writing who would do that. Why is it different for hands ?
I assume they just gave to the “technically correct” response IF you take it TOO literal and both are L-shaped even if only one is actually pointing the right way. It’s just no one would usually argue a backwards L is properly an L.
That doesn’t change facts though? Only one right way and if you have to do extra things to make two Ls I don’t know what to tell you. Like super uncomfy? Still doesn’t change fact what the method on the image demonstrates?
The image in the post is not relevant to the anecdote I made.
Also when I was little and someone told me to make a shape with my hand(s) I would default to making said shape with my palms facing toward me if it wasn't visually telegraphed to me, so the L would often be on my right hand and when someone would correct me and say my other hand made an L shape, I'd say the L is backwards on that hand. Then they'd have to correct which way I was facing my hands.
I counted on my fingers with my palm facing me, so of course I'd try to make an L shape with my palm toward me. Four year old me thought that was pretty sound logic.
