and hand in a can of black paint. You will paint the path of the movement on
what plane? I believe that the hand starts parallel to the wall, and to get to
the forward position of the finishing position of the hand, it has no choice
but to paint the path of the fingers going down parallel to the wall, until
the hand is parallel to the floor...So for me, the movement still feels like
it is down, not forward....I can imagine my fingernails making a black line
down the front wall to get into that forward ending position...Anyway...if you
disagree that is ok! These two are very close, that is for sure, and it may be
that both would be read ok...see diagram...I wrote this at the bottom of the
diagram...<BR><BR><BR>
