The hand gesture the Sanhedrin are showing looks more like the “You Reach” gesture that “Adam” and Spock exchanged on their way to “Eden.........herbert......

yeah....and Captain Kirkout (that’s what he always said!) was just an all-Iowa farm boy who didn’t wear draw-string spandex pants that he could slip off when the time arose for some green skinned alien babe.
I remember watching this stuff real-time in the dayroom each week with the guys. It wasn’t about the significance of those hand gestures. :0)

Spock grew up in Boston and his son did a filmed bio of him which aired on Boston TV just after his death.Very interesting.Wouldn't be surprised if it was on youtube.
