In a previous post, I asked whether having webbed fingers (as is now being theorized) might have affected Leonardo da Vinci's abilities as an artist.
Commenter Telanis provides what certainly sounds like a reasonable answer:
it probably wouldn't have hurt his ability, as painting mainly involves the thumb and first two fingers. actually it might have helped slightly -- it would have helped cancel out any shaking of the fingers
Anybody else want to weigh in on this?
(Thanks to Table of Malcontents for giving me the hand!)
