The button should always be in the exact same position, relative to your thumb. The buttons may be upside down if the car is turning sharply enough. If you’re turning that sharply, you’re not going to need turn signals.

This is total nonsense: If you’re turning that sharply, you’re not going to need turn signals. Ever heard about U-turns? You need to signal while doing those too. That’s just one example that disputes your position.

That’s not what I said. Try again. Ever heard about U-turns? You need to signal while doing those too. If you turn on your signal in the middle of a U-turn, you’re a bad driver. That’s not a problem with the car, that’s a problem with you.

Drivers frequently change their hand placement as they turn the wheel. You lose precision and basic ability to manipulate the wheel if you don’t.
Quoting yourself won’t magically make you right.
No one thinks it will.
So why do it?
Because it was obviously not read.
It was. You’re just plain wrong so it was ignored.
