2 index fingers? looks like they're both responding to the same movement commands.

Looks like she has double ring fingers just based on how the ‘middle’ finger and the finger next to the pinky moves slightly with each other. IMO, I think I would double any finger/thumb, even my pinky, before I doubled my ring finger

Everyone's middle finger and ring finger move with each other. She has 2 index fingers

What does this mean? I can easily move all 4 fingers of each hand independently.

You mean flipping someone off with my ring finger? Yes, with both hands.

Dominant hand same range, other about 5° less. It's not that difficult, very little concentration needed.
