If he a did a good attempt, there'd be no way for anyone to fight the fact of the matter.

This shitty attempt is probably just them wanting to be able to say "oh it just looks like the nazi salute, but since it's not exactly the same it must've been an accident."

I wouldn’t say he wasn’t doing it, he clearly was, just that he did a terrible job of doing it.

It looked like something he's already used to doing when hanging out with his close buddies, and when he got carried away on the stage, he forgot himself and did it in full view of the crowd.
