No clue where you're getting all that. Pointing LEFT with one's LEFT arm and pointing RIGHT with one's RIGHT arm are pretty unambiguous signals, so they should be the standard rather than the archaic signals passed down through the generations in this country. You're the one who wants to confuse the issue with waving or "saluting" or other things, not me.
To be honest, I don't really care what the considerations for motorcycles or cars with burned-out signals are. This is a bicycle forum, and I'm not dealing with those limitations when riding a bike.
