I've said these exact three things for nearly a decade. I wish there was an authoratiative source that clearly stated these for more people to understand and share.
It can be sad to see people apply various workarounds that fail to see these. Contorting your fingers or pinching your nerves aren't "preferences" - put it bluntly they come from ignorance.
I'd encourage anyone suffering RSI to create video footage of their hands over a work day. Do they look in a healthy, natural, relaxed position? Something that could be sustained for the rest of your life? If not please consider alternatives.
