   No, no science intended! Just our feeling. Looks like the SW 
animation makes a bridge between the realistic drawings of signs (as 
usual in sign language books for children), which are always shown in 
the receptive point of view, and the formal writing in SW, which of 
course is preferable in the expressive point of view.

   But you are right, just our feeling.

   All the best,

   Antônio Carlos
